Hmm... not sure. The one to the right looks like algae wafers, just smaller. Some of these make it to the sand for the CUC to eat?
I would assume that the True Algae would work. Is it sinking so it gets to the cuc without being eaten by the fish?
They are both fish food, but one is algae food and the other is regular food. I always try to get them both to fall to the bottom so the cuc can eat.
Dang Walker, you beat me to it.
It reaches the bottom, yes, but the fish love it too hahaha
Conchs have a large appetites, and usually even with supplementing their diet they eventually die due to starvation. What type and how long have you had it?
Smelly stuff I'm guessing. Lol
Tiger.
I don't know that 1.023 will kill them. A lot of fish stores keep salinity between 1.019 and 1.022 I believe....
This is more likely a cause for alarm but even 76.5 isn't "bad". In my old tank after I turned the heater off I didn't start seeing snail deaths until around 73.
Tiger conches require a good amount of leftovers, they don't eat algae.
They make them for freshwater algae eaters mostly but they're basically Spirulina algae pressed into little fish "cookies".
Typical Walker. He loves the ocean and he's faster than Kev.
The problem is that it has been like this for months. Coincidentally, the heater I brought today is set for 77° so I have already installed it and I will wait a few days to see what happens.
What do you recommend me for replacing the turbos?
I think you already have a urchin, my second favorite are trochus snails and they will reproduce in your tank and upright themselves if they fall on their backs.
I like Trochus, Ceriths, Stomatellas, and Margaritas for my tanks. A lot of people like Astrea snails or Ninja Stars.
76.5°f isn't bad at all. I highly, highly doubt that this was the cause as long as it was stable which if it wasn't, you'd be able to tell by now.
