well first let me say thanks for all the input.

My tank now has a new inmate. The fox fish is too funny I have done some good reading before I added him (or her not sure how to tell the diff?) but wow do they ever chage color quickly. He is really scared of me when every I come in to the room the tank is in he changes color and will stick him self along the glass or sidewase under a rock.

But on to other things, I have noticed a bit of a change already in the alge crap on the bottom.

I don't think that tubo snails would have helped this, plus every time I add them to my tank my hermit sanils eat them :eek:

I have not been able to find a fighting conch anyware but are a bit worried as I have heard that they can nock over my rocks!

Oh and one last thing I use AQUA Plus as my water conditioner from Nutrafin. If you know of better ones I am always open to try, but I have never changed before as this one has worked well for years for me.

I use Prime from Seachem,removes chlorine,chloramine,ammonia,detoxifies nitrite and nitrate.16.00 for 8.5 oz does about 2500gal.Maybe someone knows of a better one,but stuff seems pretty good.
