RCA Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 I already have 3 turbo snail already for my 3ft should I buy more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameshong Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I already have 3 turbo snail already for my 3ft should I buy more? 3 is insufficient. Get other like silver dollar, sea cucumber, sea star, hermit crab or other type of snail rather than just turbo snails. Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply.

AquaReefer Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 3 snails for 2 feet tank is certainly not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpn Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I noticed some of the live rocks have hairy stuff on it. Is it normal? It maybe due to excess nutrient. Try Algae blenny or Tailspot blenny :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ASHWIN Posted January 15, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 15, 2014 Check the source of Algae..No3 and po4..CUC Will Handle,,since you have Turbos already..why Not add more..And if your tank is big enought get a Tang they love grazing on algae..i tryed a Singanus Vilipinis..Cleared all algae within a week..but they do pick at corals..but he out of my tank now...

Planted Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have 7 turban snails and 1 margarita snail but they seem to ignore long hair algae. Where is advisable to get abalone/turbo snails? the lfs I went only have turban as of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
