75 gallon tank

Beefing up my clean up crew

Rate this Entry
Sorry if this is a double post. I had a post all ready to go then I accidentally navigated away from the site and poof the post was gone.

Anyway, as I've posted previously, I'm really making an effort to get the hair algae under control in my 29 so it doesn't get transferred to the 75. To those ends I've changed the type of food I'm feeding from Ocean Nutrition Formula TWO Marine Pellets to Rod's Foods Original (wanted the Fish Only but the only "lfs" (1 1/2 hours away) that carries Rod's didn't have any), reduced feeding from twice a day to once a day, increased water changes from twice a month to once a week, started dosing phosphate remover the night before a water change and tonight I'm beefing up my clean up crew.

Nothing special an emerald crab, 6 red leg hermits, 2 small turbo snails and 2 astrea snails. I know it's kind of silly to dress up a picture of crabs and snails in a bag, but I really like the vignette feature on my recently acquired phone.

    @midnight if you look to the left of the bag in the top picture you can see the emerald crab pinned to the side of the bag by a ball of hermits lol
