    nassarius snails will live in your substrate and clean up whatevers down there. a brittle star is a good addition too. they will forage for uneaten food also. andd i be3lieve the ceriths are also sand grazers. IMO with what you have , you would want another 30 pieces of CUC , to make the recomended 1 per gallon. but havin more is always good. lol

    im pretty sure reefcleaners cant ship livestock to canada. only drygoods. al's is kinda hit and miss when it comes to having snails. which al's will you be going to?

    when i was in nwmkt's friday , they had some mexican turbos. but i find theyre like bulldozers. knocking over corals and such. they had a bunch of astreas but they dont go on the sand. al's doesnt seem to get the3 ceriths or nassariuys very often.

    mayeb call the barrie one and see if they have any of the sand dwelling snails. ive gotten those type from a small LFS in markham. except the name of the place is slipping my memory right now.

    my memory returned , lol, sea u marine is the name of the place. woodbine south of the 16th ave.
