    Question about snails in a freshly moved tank

    Just went and bought a new 75g reef ready aquarium to replace my 75g aquarium upstairs. Got everything moved and up and running and doing great. Noticed when moving everything I only had about 3 snails and 4 hermits left. How long should i wait before ordering more?
