Hey all,
A few months back I decided to jump back to the saltwater world after sitting the bench for about 11-12 years. I was able to repurpose an old Fluval 2.6 that I had used for a freshwater shrimp tank. The tank has cycled and is stock, minus some media in the back and a Kessil A80. I've started to stock the tank with some LPS, Zoas, a few rock anemones and a couple small Astrea snails. But what I really need is something to turn over the sand. I've read plenty of posts on here with lots pointing out the Nassarius Snail as a good option. Sadly, I don't plan on feeding the tank (at least for now) as the water volume is so small, the tank can get out of balance very quickly. I was hoping for micro brittle stars but only need a few and don't want to pay $30 to ship 5 of 'em
Do folks have some other thoughts on other options that I can consider for such a small space? Ideally, anything I can find will be 1/2" or smaller. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
