Hi, I'm new to the board and new to the hobby and I'm addicted to both!
My tank has been established now for 68 days and so far no problems. Three days ago, I added 10 mexican turbo snails to my 29g reef (the quantity of snails being the advice of my LFS) and yesterday I added 4 nassarius snails. Since adding the nassarius, they haven't cared to sift/clean the sand instead they stay on the glass. I bought them because I read (and was told) that they're great at sifting and cleaning the sand.
I have two questions:
1. Is it normal for the nassarius snails to stay on the glass and not in the sand?
2. Is that too many turbos for my tank?
Thanks,
Miles
