    I have 3 nassarius vibex snails and 20 to 30 misc. baby snails (possibly theirs). What would you recommend me getting for a 75 gallon FOWLR.

    How does this sounds:

    Nassarius Vibex (since they have been doing a good job)- 30

    Fighting Conch- 4

    Nerite Snails- 5

    Anything else?

    I have one blue tang and one yellow tang. Did not want a lot of fish because they are barely aloud in there. I have no coral but there is a possibility of getting it so I want everything to be reef safe.

    Yes in my display tank there is green algae on the back walls. There is also some red/brown algae on the sandbed and rocks. I have been doing water changes every other day this week but it is still not doing the job. My tank has been running with little care over the past 5 months and I have just highly gained interest again in the hobby.

    ok then, thats a good starting CUC you have picked out for now.

    but the red/brown aglae will be a problem. what is your water source? (tap, distilled, RO)
