Or your don't have herbivores. Add a small amount (1-3) after the next cleaning and see how it goes for the next few weeks. (Use the new additions to replace non-herbivores if that's your case.) Technically you and the snail are on the same cleanup crew, you're just way bigger: 💁♂️>🐌🐌🐌🐌 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
sublunary Posted January 11 If you have a big enough tank, I highly recommend adding a submersible gravel vacuum to this process. Grab algea, release into vacuum intake, repeat. My arms get much less tired and I splash much less water on the floor compared to when I when I lift my arm out of the tank to throw away every pinch. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
