HOLY COW! those snails are cleaning machines!!
This rock had a brown coat yesterday, woke up today and they had made short work of it.

As for my water test, looks like i have 5 ppm Nitrates and 0.25 ppm Phosphates. Not terrible considering the tank is just finished cycling and being overfed. Waterchanges will help keep it coming down.
Yeah, those snails are awesome!

Why were you overfeeding the tank? What's the purpose? NO3 looks good, but PO4 is quite high!
