I am looking at getting some more snails, currently only have Some margaritas, They do a good job, but they always end up falling over and they can get turned back. What are some good, quarter sized snails or smaller that would be good, but don't fall over as much or can at least get turned back over.

I like Nassarius and Conchs for the sand bed. Nerites do a good job on the glass. If you need something for the rock, get some Scarlet Hermits.

I am looking to get snails as well. Thinking about one Mexican Turbo per 20 gallons and one of AV's Strombus maculatus per 2 gallons.

I'm needing some more CUC so if someone sets up a group buy (hint hint) I'd be in for some.

Ditto that, I need a ton aswell. A buddy just setup a 180 too.

I like the Hawaiian Trocus Grazers ... Stay small and breed in the tank.

I'm going to be ordering from reefs2go in a few weeks, But I'm sure most of you won't want to come to Lima to get your stuff. My order alone is almost 400.00

ohioreef · « **Reply #8 on:** October 25, 2010, 13:06:38 »

I'm in Sidney so that's not too bad a drive. Drop me a line when you're ordering.

Best snails I ever got!!! I have so many that my glass is almost covered in them when the lights go out. It's like they breed faster than they die, but whatever, I'm happy. Glass is always clean.

UDflyer00 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 25, 2010, 14:29:26 »

keep me updated too on this... I'm in desperate need of some snails!! I'd definitely be in for a bunch!

I could sure use a few things. ReefCleaners has really nice macro algae's as well http://reefcleaners.org/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=18&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=34 but would be up to a Reefs2Go order as well

UDJustin · « **Reply #13 on:** October 25, 2010, 20:20:01 »

I also like AV's strombis snails got quite a few of them from him a year or so ago and they just keep multiplying.

HUNGER · « **Reply #14 on:** October 25, 2010, 20:52:12 »

ya got some of av's snails they do look cool

reef cleaners dont have a big selection of snails nore crabs

UDflyer00 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 26, 2010, 09:17:15 »

Does Reefs2Go sell this snail "AV's strombis snails "?? I'm on their site and don't see that name, but sounds like a good one from what you guys are saying...

AV stands for Aquavista99, he has some killer snails. Reefs2go doesn't look to have them.

rancoo · « **Reply #17 on:** October 26, 2010, 13:25:42 »

I saw that you can get Strombus from http://www.ipsf.com/

~reefchik~ · « **Reply #18 on:** October 26, 2010, 18:25:16 »

I got mine from IndoPacific.

These things are great. I started with 12 or so from IPSF, and that was 5 years ago... they populate like crazy. These are the same thing Tim is selling, he sells out quickly.

Wall_Tank · « **Reply #23 on:** October 28, 2010, 22:41:43 »

Tim has these posted on fragswapper 20 for $10

cyberwollf · « **Reply #24 on:** October 29, 2010, 16:31:29 »

Anybody 100% going to the swap that wants to pick some up for me?

UDflyer00 · « **Reply #25 on:** October 29, 2010, 21:07:28 »

I was going to ask that same question... Lazy, Tim said you'd be there would mind doing a pickup??? Let me know, I could drop the $$ off by your house.

Sure I can pick up for anyone that wants some.

aquavista99 · « **Reply #27 on:** November 07, 2010, 21:15:54 »

I will have the snails available at the December 5th 2010 Cincy Frag swap. You can reserve them now on fragswapper.com if you plan to attend the Cincy swap. They were also available at the 2010 Ohio Reef and 2010 CORA swaps as well.

I have been breeding Hawaiian Strombus Grazer snails(Strombus maculatus) since 2006. Great algae grazers that may breed in your tank!!!! These reef safe snails stay small (never exceed 1/2 inch in length) and are the miniature Hawaiian relatives of the famous Queen Conch from the Caribbean.

aquavista99 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 07, 2010, 21:20:47 »

And if you can't make it to the Cincy swap, check with Brian to see if he can pick up an order for you during his next visit to my house in a few weeks. Price is 20 or $10. Thanks

HUNGER · « **Reply #31 on:** November 08, 2010, 15:08:12 »

lazylivin · « **Reply #32 on:** November 08, 2010, 18:04:15 »

Just a fyi, If you have red leg or blue leg or emerald crabs they will eat them.

aquavista99 · « **Reply #33 on:** November 08, 2010, 18:51:13 »
