Hello,

Currently the tank is fishless.

I purchased CuC consisting of a couple of conches, nerite, florida cerith, dwarf cerith, and astrea snails. Within 5 days they have maneged to completely clear out all of the algea/diatoms in the aquarium.

I've offered pieces of nori on a clip placed cloae to the sand bed and hikari algea wafers. They dont seem interested in them at all.

Is there any other food i should offer them? Im worried that they are going to starve.

Plain nori sheets are what I recommend! I usually would use these on a nori sheet clip in my tank!

I will give it another go. Any tips on preventing it from flying all over the place?
