SRC Member fnscasey Posted September 3, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 3, 2003 Read on this articles @ http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/general...ral_pagesid=199 Phase 5 - Add a Detritus Attack Pack Now that you've established your aquarium and added fish and invertebrates, you should add a Detritus Attack Pack to help maintain healthy water parameters. The invertebrates in these attack packs feed on leftover food and waste from fish and other invertebrates. If insufficient detritus-eating invertebrates are present, the unconsumed food and waste will ultimately serve as nutrients for unwanted algae. Simply choose the Detritus Attack Pack that fits the size of your aquarium. What is Detritus Attack Pack ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member SharkBait Posted September 3, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 3, 2003 its just a flashy name for the clean up crew.they are animals that clean up the substrate by eating up the uneaten stuff.i doubt any thing will eat the waste of other animals.

SRC Member seamonkee Posted September 3, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 3, 2003 Go back to the article website... click on "Tank Cleaners" icon somewhere at the top... it should tell u what "Detritus Attack Pack" is about... Just another fancy "marketing-ploy" name used by the website... it's basically your tank clean-up crew... can be hermit crabs, emerald crabs, stars and all...

Achilles Tang Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 You can get nassarius snails from Maxima as he has success breeding them. Good scavengers on the sandbed... will help you clean up excess food or dead carcasses. Here's my crew everytime food hits the water, they rise up from the sandbed like zombies!

SRC Member Cookiemunster Posted September 4, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 4, 2003 yup these snails are really cool. I like to play with them by throwing in some pellet food and watching them race for it. They rise out from no where in the sand and race at top speed towards the fallen pellets. Beats horse racing anytime. hahahha Quote My Humble 4ft tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlion Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Tried looking for the post done by Maxima but was unsuccesful. Perhaps the records were wiped out during the closure of the forum a few weeks back. Could anyone, assist me by informing me how to get the snails shown by AT, if Maxima is no longer available?

SRC Member pospeh Posted September 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 5, 2003 You can get nassarius snails from Maxima as he has success breeding them. Good scavengers on the sandbed... will help you clean up excess food or dead carcasses. Here's my crew everytime food hits the water, they rise up from the sandbed like zombies! My snails aspire to rise up like mummies. In fact, they rise so much, they climb over the glass and fall right onto my floor. That is where they become dessicated mummies, but I haven't seen them rise up yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member huskiesg Posted September 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 5, 2003 A closer look. My snails seems to be missing in action. Used to see a few of them but hmm..
