Reefer, I wasn't going after you. I was really curious as why. If I had a nickel for everytime sometime around here told me I was wrong, I could set you up a DSA 140 complete w/LED's and a Deltec Skimmer and reactor.

The main reason I was questioning you was because I'm ready to put sand in my fuge that's already got cheato and I didn't want to do anything wrong. BTW, I too was sucked into the beauty of the trash palys and then I started to see them spread over the rocks way too fast. From what other Maast members have said, they will kill just about anything they touch.

Nassarius snails would make a good addition, and like I side, maybe once or twice a week drop a little food in the tank to keep your bacteria levels up and the snails fed.
