Hey all I'm hoping to get some quick replies here since timing is of the essence.
I am going away for 2 weeks and I've left feeding instructions for a couple of relatives for feeding the fish/corals and will be doing a 50% water change today so hopefully that will do until I get back.
However, I'm thinking of beefing up my CuC to pick up some of the slack while I am gone. I think right now where I am lacking in CuC is critters that pick at the rocks since most of em' are a little kind of covered with grayish/brownish fuzz.
At the moment in my 40 gallon tank, I have the following:
2 Turbo Snails (don't want more since they knock things over all the time).
8 small Hermit Crabs
1 Tuxuito Urchin
2 Emerald Crabs
1 Arrow Crab
3 Astrea Snails
1 Diamond Goby
4 Nassarius Snails
I think the goby and the nassies are doing great at keeping the sand clean, and the Turbos, Emeralds, and the Urchin are doing fine keeping algae under control, but the rocks themselves look like they could use a little help, so what should I get before I leave?
Also, the store where I am going to get my water from today just got a fresh batch of margarita snails (black shells with white bodies). I've heard that some people like em and some people don't. You think getting a handful of them will be fine if thats all I could find? CuC critters for some reason do not seem to be available much in any of the LFSs around me.
