RO/DI water

well, won't be around long then. Not sure snails will help...although they eat it, I'm not sure they digest it and it just comes right out the other end again. Diatoms are just the entrance into reefs and the first of many things to try your patience.

too true, I agree.

But a few snails can't hurt.....

2 weeks with cured rock......

Parameters in check.....

Time to add a few maybe?

id add some

Nope, won't hurt at all. Won't help much, but you're gonna want them soon anyway, might as well add them now. Be aware that turbos knock things over.

but clean the fastest

Well, if you're experience says I'm wrong, then I guess I'm wrong. My turbos musta been sick ;)

lol!!!!!!!! mayb mine were just on steroids... time to get some drug testing done:mrgreen:

oh and i didnt say you were wrong..mine knock stuff down all the time but clean like a damn!

I got some from J&L that weren't Turbo's but another large snail that Rene(?) sold me that work like crazy but don't knock over as much and when they end up on their backs they can get back over not like Turbos....once on their back they don't get righted well. For the life of me I can't remember what they were but they are great...kind of pretty too.......just my 2 cents..I'd add some now if your water is stable! At least then you have something to stare into the tank and see! We all know you're doin it! (we all did it too!)
