Tank Journal Archive
Don't go too nuts on the amount of strombus snails you buy-one snail can cover a huge area of the sand bed-somewhere I read 1-2 square feet of tank for 1 snail. I f you have too many they'll starve. I only have one in a 3 footer and he keeps the sand bed pristine. I also sometimes give him algae wafers and nori as supplements
So heres a quick update.
Everything seems to be working well, I bought a few more corals which I will post pics of.
After some dicussion with the members on the forums i decided to hold on the LEDS and upgrade my bulbs to get more colour.
Anyway I was going to buy them of reef direct but they didn't have what I wanted in stock so I decided to go with Guppys aquarium
I was told by an admin to be careful of these guys when it comes ot bulbs so instead of ordering all 10 I just ordered 4 as a trial run.
My bulbs arrived on friday 2 of them were broken and the person that runs that store really doesnt give a shit about customer service. They wouldnt replace them or even care that were broken. I inspected the package they came in before I signed and saw no signs of damage so I think they just ship nthem out broken. Anyway thanks to the advise from the forum member I only was $70. It could of been 10x worse :)
I have open a depute with fair trading Australia and Paypal as its more the principal then the money really.
Next time I will order with Reef Direct even if they dont have it in stock!
My new corals :)
OK dont shoot me down as ive purposly tried something a little harder.
I bought a purple and green BTA but its very small, seems to be doing ok been in the tank a month the mouth seems normal I feed it twice a week on frozen foods, when its bigger it will be the star of the tank.
I got a pink/purple Gonni which I feed reef roids 2-3 times a week and it looks great although I did move it to the sand bed as it wouldnt open fully on one of my rocks.
Will try get some pics or a vid soon
