What about snails?
Several things that I have read are promoting "tank janitors" including snails. I already have two cleaner shrimp, and two tiny hermit crabs. I have a 70G aquarium.
Is anyone here using snails or other janitors? what are the pros and cons? |

Thanks CM. I have some plants in my tank already, but they are having a tough time getting established. I have been thinking about a refugium, but I don't think I have enough real estate in the sump, due to my in sump skimmer. I haven't thought about the lights. Not sure when I got my lights, maybe July or August. Wouldn't more light be better for the algae? I have limited my lights to 6 hours now.

You could grow the snails and then steam them with butter and lemon
![]() Try not to harvest at low tide they might not taste as good ![]()

not really into eating snails. Tried them once many years ago-too chewy.
