Snail Orgy

[mnat]

If you guys remember I had an emergency when I was having a snail orgy. The tank is fine now but I found some of the pictures I took that day so you can get an idea of why we were panicking a bit:

Caught them in the act (I hope no one is offended by these images they are very graphic)

What our tank water looked like:

If that is the case,They were gettin busy bigtime!

Can you imagine what a 12"+ clam and a couple pairs of snails did to my 200!

Is that a hollowed out rock with a magnet in it????? I just had a "Why didn't I think of that!!!!" moment.

It is a ceramic shelf with interior and exterior magnets.
We got 2 of them at MACNA 2010. They are great they have pre-drilled holes for frag plugs.
Re: the snails, no, there were not 2, closer to 10 of that species that we 'caught in the act'. They got to spend the next day in a salt bucket with a pump, a heater and a bubbler. And Yes, I know, my tanks have invert overkill

They must be very happy in your tank to do that out in the open. ;D

LOL, I hope they aren't that "happy" again for a while, I was in panic mode!

lets see in 9 months if you have any babby snails. Then we can see if they are still happy LOL

That piece is from alternative reef, you can find them over on Reef2reef. They are the same place I ordered this from:

[Tazmaniancowboy]

That is sweet, I didn't realize that when I saw your tank
