Thoughts on CUC from Petco? Is it safe?

Petco buys it's stuff from exactly the same wholesalers as your lfs.

True. Just nervous from getting stuff from Petco, etc bc of the YouTube videos I have watched and some forms I have read. Not saying that all are bad heck even LFS can be bad. Haha

Yeah the only thing I am mainly worried about is ick

Ick doesn’t take hold very easily in healthy tanks.

Okay sweet! My two clowns are very healthy and fat haha. Both my cleaner shrimp and pistol shrimp are loving like and my coral are doing fantastic. Water readings are good posted in my other thread “20 gal IM update”. Based on what your saying is I should be pretty safe to get snails from Petco

Well I went to a new LFS that I found. And wow his shop is nice. The owner educated me so much and wow the amount of coral he has. Okay so back to the theme of this whole thread. I got three snails from him. One that has a pointy shell and two smaller ones. Sorry trying to remember the names. Will take pictures today. But after I got them ready and in the tank last night, got up this morning and holy crap did they eat all the brown algae I had!!! My white rock that had a look to be a film of brown algae is all clean and white again!! I sat their last night and watched the pointy one clim onto my coral frags and clean them! Haha reefing is so much better than fresh water

Just remember.... Lfs owners are not your friends. There is a line there that cannot be crossed.

Very true. They are there to make money.
