So about a week or two ago I ordered the CUC with hermits from reefcleaners.org. After adding the critters to the tank I noticed a few things within a few days and have a couple of questions.
One, the CUC was doing a great job on the algae. As of last night 95% of all algae was gone.
Two, I noticed small white dots on the glass, rocks, overflow. I posted a pic and was told they were snail eggs. My question for this is, what are the chances of getting snails to hatch and actually live? What is the typical survival rate for snail eggs in the home aquarium?
When I did my first water change, I noticed stringy, sort of curly white stuff on some of the rocks. I assumed it was snail poop. Is this what it is? I was able to clean it off easily with the siphon and brush.
Other than that I am very satisfied with the CUC. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do. My tanks is now starting to look pretty good. I can finally see the colors of the coralline algae that has been forming on the rocks. Now I'm getting excited about the tank again and I don't get disappointed every time I look at it.
