Snails, how how long do they live?

When i started I had lots of problems, but I eventually got the fish keeping part down. It's been a long time since I've had any problems whatesoever.

 

oh. how much have u invested in all your tanks u think.

 

I have absolutely no clue. Thousands in my reef alone. I have no clue of how much I've spent over the years. It's up there though.

 

i bet.

 

hi all

Brand new to this forum. Brand new to reef aquariums as well. I have a 30 gallon 5 mo old marine tank that
is doing very well. I recently added two turbo snails
all seemed fine for two weeks they wandered all over the place cleaning algae. Then one day both ov them just quit foraging. One died and the other still clung to
the glass. I put a large peice of seaweed selects green marine algae right in front of the remaing snail. It immediatly glommed onto the algae and ate it all.
It is now doing fine. Long story short. They were dieing
of starvation!

Whoooper

 

That happens when they eat all the algae.

 

mine never runs out of algae.

 

My turbos have run out of algae. I just feed them the Seaweed Select. To keep them alive.

 

i always have some kind of algae growing in my tank especially brown.

 

I don't have much algae at all. I have about 15 nassarius snails, 20 astrea snails, and 3 turbo snails. Plus I have a Scopas tang. I can barely keep my Scopas tang fattened up even when I put in seaweed select for him.
