Wow, thank goodness I asked! I'll stick with the little pieces of food route.

I have a 55g tank I've had for a few months now. I'm moving in a few weeks, and when I get to my new place I'm going to set up a 125 gallon. I recently bought a bunch of live rock off of someone breaking down their aquarium (about 100lbs) and I have it in a big rubbermaid container in saltwater...

This is a long post, but I thought it would be helpful to share the full amount of info i have up front. I cannot figure it out, somehow my tank is a flush farm. I started my tank back around thanksgiving. I gave it plenty of time to cycle - about six weeks, then i bought some tank janitors...

Thanks for everyone's help! My DSB is about 6 inches deep at it's deepest to about 3 inches deep at it's shallowest. My tank is four feet long, so probably three feet could classify as a deep sand bed (because the last foot or so of tank is a bit shallower sand under my rocks). 1journeyman...

I guess my worry is just the fact that my sand is a few inches deep. Will the snails burrow deep enough to keep the sand further down stirred and clean?

I have a 55 gallon tank that I have had set up since early December. I have about 50# of lr, and a deep aragonite bed at one end getting shallower as it goes across the bottom (from about five inches at one end to about 1 inch at the other end). I cycled it very slowly, and my water has always...
