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 ?

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.

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...

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!

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

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?

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.

A closer look.

My snails seems to be missing in action. Used to see a few of them but hmm..
