![]() Well after one long month my tank finally has fish in it! I have a list of desired fish, but the only ones they had at my lfs were the clown fish. I didn't want to overload the tank so I bought 2 clowns to start with. I also bought three (I think acorn) snails to help clean up. My tank is the 46 gallon bowed front with 45 lbs of LR. My ammonia is 0 nitrites 0 ph 8.2 ~ 8.3 nitrates 10. I notice a lot of brown 'gunky' looking crud that is floating on top of the LR. I thought this is die off and at one time did clean it up a bit using a toothbrush (delicately brushing them). I also rinsed the 'cured' LR when I first got it. My question is this, how can I clean this up? Will the snails do a good job? I doubt they will and would like to know of any other cleaners I could use. I did notice I have some nice new coral growing off my LR (I also plan on buying some anemones when my tank is established), so I know I should stay away from crabs. Thank you all -- |
