those are big snails for a ten gallon. why not some ceriths and a couple nassarius snails and hope to get stomatella snails hitchiking on LR.

nassarious For sand definitely. Astrea Are fine as well. i actually meant mexican trochus (Spelling?). the mexicans are my favorite. great color on shell and face. fast movers too. would never be without them. turbo may get big but one or two small ones are ok.

you can use a turkey baster to blow away some of that brown algae or a soft brush since you have no coral, that algae is to be expected during your cycling period it will go away in time or simply kill your lights will kill it off as well.

consider buying a little nano powerhead like a koralia nano to help with flow near the bottom of your tank and that will also help in your little algae bloom

cheers on the new tank but watch out because pats gonna envy that badboy

if patrick is heading down anytime soon or your coming up i have one you can have if you dont get one i dont need it anymore i shut down my small tank today

I realize its just a Chromis but its my first fish so i am pumped. 24hrs in and its eating well and getting less shy by the minute. Also added a starfish to move my sand around and get rid of the algae down there.









Cant wait to start adding coral another fish or 2, any tips or suggestions appreciated.
