Snails
nassarious For sand definitely. Astrea Are fine as well. i actually meant mexican trochus (Spelling?). the mexicans are my favorite. great color on shell and face. fast movers too. would never be without them. turbo may get big but one or two small ones are ok.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

you can use a turkey baster to blow away some of that brown algae or a soft brush since you have no coral, that algae is to be expected during your cycling period it will go away in time or simply kill your lights will kill it off as well. consider buying a little nano powerhead like a koralia nano to help with flow near the bottom of your tank and that will also help in your little algae bloom  cheers on the new tank but watch out because pats gonna envy that badboy

Just let the cyano cycle for now. Sometimes its better to let it be in the beginning of a cycle and when you do a water change blow it off then. But yes... canning the lights for a couple days might also help. Can also try running a short light cycle for the first bit... 6 hrs or so. Nothing much in there requiring light right now.
Yea yea Denny. Envy. Ha ha! I can reap the benefit of family in this one ha ha!
