  |  Before & After turbos
What a difference 10 snails make, wow!
I thought I would post two pics of what a bunch of turbos can accomplish in a little over two weeks.
Before adding 10 turbos to the tank: 
and after: 
The only thing I helped them with was a very light mop-up job just to get rid of some "mowing trails" they left behind.
They are just great house cleaners. | |

Sssnake, We put 4 turbos in our tank just four days ago and they, along with some help from the ceriths and hermits, have scrubbed the LR, walls and equipment totally clean. What do I feed them now? Does anyone know what works best? e.g. dried seaweed/algae sheets or sinking algae pellets, or what?
