The snails seem to be doing just fine and they were free.The guy at yhe LFS gave them to me and said to put them in.I wasnt sure that they would survive,what does everyone think.

Had my first loss today,One of my Peppermint shrimp died,water parameters are all great.It must have just been sick when I bought it or I injured it putting it into the tank.

You really need to get at least 2 powerheads...one for each side of the tank....so you have good overall water movement...I have 3 in my 29G....a koralia 1. Koralia 2, and some rio thingy...LOL
