I’m a complete noob who has done a ton of reading and researching on starting a SW tank. I’ve celebrated every time something went like I read it.
Here is something I didn’t see coming, how ugly the CUC would look when introduced into the tank. LOL! I ordered a small crew from reefcleaners. I ordered the 20 long quick crew, plus a few extra dwarf ceriths. This is just a fraction of what’s recommended for a 150g.
Of course the great people at reefcleaners sent double of everything. Except the dwarf ceriths, they sent like 5x what I ordered. I stopped counting them at 100.
When I first put them in
After a day they all migrated to the edge of the tank. This is after a scoped up half of them and put some on the other side. This doesn’t show the 50 or so that’s hanging on the glass.
Now I was expecting a few, like 10 or so snails on the glass, and I thought the rest would chill on/in the live rock or BUIRED in the sand. When I’m looking at pictures of people’s tanks, I don’t see 100 black specks on the sand and 50 more on the glass. Will these dwarf ceriths eventually go into hiding?
Hubby says they look like ants and are making his skin crawl. :laughroll:
