Sounds like a plan I’ll look for the snail you think ones enough? 200 gallons, I’ll get the bacteria running and I’ll empty my skimmer and run it cap less starting tomorrow
Yah that’s the plan i ordered dr Tim’s stuff trying to find where buy i can some conches locally
Probably 2-3 for a 200.
Sounds like a plan now where to find them Locally
Ya, just call around. The Nassarius Snails are also awesome and churn up the sand when feeding.
You know i never bought from eBay before and a friend of mine bought what was said to be nassarius snails and he got New Jersey mud snails that nuked his tank
Why I said must be FL. I did the same thing as your friend but lucky my tank was fine.
Oh boy lol goal is to find a couple of conch snails and maybe a sand shifting starfish
Mm pretty good priced actually
Hey bud so Amazon is out of stock on the gel sticks so i ordered the liquid form, waste away and i got re fresh from Mr Tim’s they recommend doing both during couple day span trying to find some conch snails in the area but still no luck gonna call some local shops tomorrow
Hey do you know what other benefits are they having?
Ya, while running chemiclean a few times a year into your maintenance schedule, you'll notice a few benefits. One is that your fish will stay alive, by that i mean no one is having any mortality issues (at least with what if read out there on the interwebs), that also includes inverts. Corals seem to do better by obviously not being irritated from Cyano. You can sometimes have a benefit of your overflow and plumbing being a bit more cleared out (where light hits). I think just in general we are "against" using it unless absolutely necessary, but why not run it a few times a year and add to a healthy system? Of course if all your parameters are still out of whack, it wont matter. I run every other month a tablet of Cipro. I've never had BJD, but cipro also has some good benefits to a reef tank. Some people do both cipro and chemiclean together. My only problem with chemiclean is your skimmer foams, that's all.
I will definitely try this every few months from now on, I’ll research cipro and maybe that one too!
