    LIke the title says. Got a question. I recently got my frag tank up and running. It's 24x48x8 and it has a bare bottom with one sheet of eggcrate. I currently have 4 snails and a few hermit crabs for my CUC. Im running a 1.5" drain with strainer and I have a mag 9.5 for the return I have a T in my return and have to loc-line spouts for my flow.

    well the bottom of my tank is now full snail poop. Anybody here running bare bottom tanks have some advice?

    Add some more flow so that it doesn't settle on the bottom, you want it to be pushed into the filter.
