Algae is starting to get to be a pain. Would like to get another cleaner package but my last one from Saltwaterfish.com has only 2 Astrea Snails left. 18 Astrea Snails, 25 Blue Legs, 20 Red legs, 2 green crabs, camel shrimp, 7 Turbo Snails are ALL DEAD!
I purchased the biggest Red Hermit crab I have ever seen, 3" out of the shell. He lasted one night. Saw him running out of his shell across the sand before going to bed. After the big red hermit died off I realized half of the Invert package was gone so I took out the eel. I used to have a Snowflake Eel in but figured he was the one eating the Crabs so I put him in my other tank.
175 Gallon Tank inhabitants: 4" Juv. Emporer; 7" Naso; 3" Cinnammon Clown; 3" Bi-color Angel; 2 Blue Damsels.
The remainging cleaner package slowly died off. Just recently tried to put a Mexican Turbo Snail in, he lasted about 4 days.
Does anyone have any Idea why they all keep dying? My two remaining Astrea snails have been in there about 6 months.
Tank Chemistry: PH=8.2; Ammonia=0; Nitrites=0; NITRATES= 50 PPM; Calcium=?; Phosphates=?;
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
