nothing for my snails to eat?
 

hey guys, i have a concern, i have got my tank set up , its a couple of weeks old , my lr is fully cured , it came out of an existing set up at hidden reef. and i am worried that my snails will have nothing to eat is there anyway to feed them or what whould i feed them , and i guess does anyone have a scoop or live sand they can spot me to start growth in my sand bed , tank looks great though

Maybe add a bunch of phospates and turn of all circulation that'll help grow some food for them :eek:

I think they'll be fine, no worries.

jebus, send em over here, im hitting diatoms full blast into week 3!

just add some food eather flake food or forzen ad but in an alge disk or two for them to snack on in the mean time.

I tried an aglae disk or 2 because I can't grow algae either except coraline, they do pretty good for feeding hermits and bristle worms :eek: . They did almost absolutely nothing for the snails, also thought it might jump start some algae growth.

well what about those noi sheets then :question:

Would probably work if you hung it up off the bottom :mrgreen:

I have never heard of people WANTING algae to grow in their tank other than carline. I wish that I could give you all my algae. :mrgreen:

I would try some nori, seems like it would be the closest thing to "living" algae.

i have just noticed because of my cured lr that i did nt get a signif cycle therefore i have a serious lack of algae or anything for my snails to eat and i dont want the little buggers to die as the can get pricey
