nothing for my snails to eat?

[digitalsteve]

hey guys, i have a concern, i have got my tank set up , its a couple of weeks old , my lr is fully cured , it came out of an existing set up at hidden reef. and i am worried that my snails will have nothing to eat is there anyway to feed them or what whould i feed them , and i guess does anyone have a scoop or live sand they can spot me to start growth in my sand bed , tank looks great though

Maybe add a bunch of phospates and turn of all circulation that'll help grow some food for them :eek:

I think they'll be fine, no worries.

I tried an aglae disk or 2 because I can't grow algae either except coraline, they do pretty good for feeding hermits and bristle worms :eek: . They did almost absolutely nothing for the snails, also thought it might jump start some algae growth.

well what about those noi sheets then :question:

Would probably work if you hung it up off the bottom :mrgreen:

I have never heard of people WANTING algae to grow in their tank other than carline. I wish that I could give you all my algae. :mrgreen:

I would try some nori, seems like it would be the closest thing to "living" algae.

i have just noticed because of my cured lr that i did nt get a signif cycle therefore i have a serious lack of algae or anything for my snails to eat and i dont want the little buggers to die as the can get pricey
