    Looks great, Smitty. :)

    Absolutely. I have the same "problem" since adding a few hermits and snails and a couple emeralds to my tank. In less than a week, I had to start overfeeding so my CuC doesn't starve.

    I have one emerald crab already. I had two, but I guess it was survival of the fittest lol. I will look for some astrea/turbo snails this weekend. I didn't even think about adding more snails before I left lol.

    I'm not adding any supplements at all actually. I will have to test my params to see where my nitrates are at. I suspect that is the reason for the great growth and lack of water changes. ;D

    Thank you. I'm not to worried about the GHA. I think the turbo's will do a great job at taking care of it lol. I plan on cleaning the GHA off of the power head myself though.

    Thanks for the suggestion on the snails! :) Those turbo snails have been hard at work on my GHA problem, and have taken care of half of it at least already lol. ;D
