Conch Snails and Band-Aids

[reefburnaby]

Hi,

Salt is actually a good disinfectant. However, there have been cases where people are allergic or sensitive to saltwater mixes. So, as long as you don't feel sick or look sick, then you should be okay.

As for the snails in a predators tank, I am not too sure. Personally, I would just run UV in such a tank. We tend not to run UV in our regular reef tanks since we want to keep all those macro and micro organisms that are suspended in water. They are there to feed our special fish and corals. In a predators tank...we don't have to keep those organisms and it makes things much easier. It will also help control your algae problem.
