Avoid these pitfalls
Common Mistakes to Avoid
please follow the path for success!
-
Snails are sensitive to ammonia and nitrite and should only be added once the aquarium is fully cycled and stable.
-
Ultra-clean reef systems can starve snails if algae and biofilm are not present or supplemented.
-
Fish like puffers, triggers, and some wrasses will eat snails, quickly wiping out a clean-up crew.
-
We Recommend 1 snail per 15 litres of aquarium water, not enough snails leads to algae and the sense that they are not working.
Snails like trochus dont consume algae every day they eat algae one day then rest for 3 days so having a large number of snails as clean up allows a rotation.
