    Hello!

    Ok, so I have a 55 gallon tank with A LOT of snails... I currently have 2 XL Top Crown Snails that are probably the coolest thing in the world (minor sarcasm but, they are still pretty cool...)

    My glass is squeeky clean now that they have gone through the tank but, I am worried they will not have enough food...

    In fact, I had a turbo snail get super weak too...

    What are your thoughts? Return the huge snails?

    Thanks!

    what is ur clean up crew and long has ur tank been set up those are the first things that all need to know. i have read here on 3reef like 1 snail per 10-20 gallons. if not enough algea is a concern the longer u leave lights on the more algea grows. a rise in ph will cause algea blooms as well as direct sunlight threw the tank... im not sayin do these things. im sayin how to create algea. not all algea is good either. I have a 75 g with 8 snails and most of my glass is clean 4 turbos and 4 ceriath(ceriaths clean substrate as well) barely see those.
