I was going to post, but Delphinus took the words out of my mouth.

Well my snails just dont want to eat it any more. I have 3 turbo snails and 3 nassirus (spelling) and had 5 hermit crabs. Perhaps I'll give the LB a shot. even if he eats just a bit of it that would be good. If he onlys kisses the glass at least that part of the glass would be clean.

I second Turbo Snails. I have a 15G that went out of control on GHA almost over night it seemed.

I added 3 of these little guys and my rocks were perfect clean in about a week and half!
