jack1978 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Have you bought any coral? No. I've been soooo put off with my tanks mess, I don't want to put anything else to death. Once I get it sorted out....I'll be busting out the wallet! Link to comment

Chris! Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Could have bought a kole tang today! Mark's tropical fish in Studio City had one. I passed though. Didn't feel like acclimating a fish today. Plus I've been overfeeding as it is because of my mandarin. I don't feel comfortable adding any fish right now. My tank might implode if I do LOL. I always feel my tank is a breath away from melt down . He was a cutie though. I thought adding a new fish was the solution to overfeeding, it gets rid of extra food that wasn't previously being eaten Link to comment

jack1978 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 A big box of snails. It was his 40b quick crew....something like that? Link to comment
gena Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 A big box of snails. It was his 40b quick crew....something like that?I've always been too afraid to do a quick crew. With a big tank though, and the algae, I'm sure you could use them all. No emeralds? Link to comment

I have one emerald already in there....he seems pretty worthless. And my urchin who does a great job of swiping zoas.....hoping these snails can do some damage. They will have no shortage of food. I hope they're not the anorexic model type. Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Get a tang. That's all I rely on these days for keeping algae in check. My big tank is spotless and my only CUC member is a yellow tang. I don't even feed it. There's enough life in the tank for him to graze on to get by just fine. Link to comment
