Hello all,

I have a 30 gallon salt water aquarium that I have finally got most of the green hair algae under control and I am at the point where an snail attack pack could keep the rest of it under control. I am looking for suggestions were the best places are to purchase a good attack pack.

Thanks

Glenn

Salt water algae eaters include Red Lip and a few other Blennies, several species of small hermit crab, Turbo and Astrea snails, and many of the tangs and angelfish. Care must again be given to selecting the right animal for the other tank inhabitants. Petsmart or petco, or even find a small pet shop with fish

oh man, putting snails in my tank was the worst idea ever!

they multiply like mad, and then end up starving. but if you drop in an algae pellet (and if your fish don't get to it first) they'll slowly crawl to it to feed, and you can scoop them all out.
