I hope Aquatic central has a bunch at around the BOD time. I'll have to get a bunch.

Is the BOD meeting at Bryan's place again? Arnold's? Eileen's? not that I'd have any arguments against it, just I haven't heard a peep about it.

 

[Gomer]

I've really only been to one BOD and it was at ASAP. No idea really.

 

[tuberider]

ASAP, we'll need to iron out frag swap stuff there.

[/quote]Oh you're going to drive back from ASAP to Aquatic Central?? Is this one of those "you're so damn far away, you might as well hit them all up" things??

 

[Gomer]

Oops...I'm a retard (nothing new). I was thinking Atlantis, not AC. And am I not too far from ASAP. About 30 miles

 

[Tumbleweed]

Where is Aquatic Central? Never been

 

[Raddogz]

Tony if you go - I can pick up some from Chris depending on availability.

 

[Gomer]

Thanks Eileen! I'll contact you closer to BOD time.

do you guys notice that your turbos spend 90% of the time on the glass very little on the rock...it drives me nuts, there is all these nice pockets of hair algae in the rocks and the glass is practically clean!

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Helps to move them onto the algae by hand. Once they get there, they'll chow down for a while before moving somewhere else.

 

[sfsuphysics]

Not to mention keeping the glass regularly clean might help. If there's no food on the glass, then they won't be grazing on the glass

sadly enough I never thought of trying that

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Hehe... just keep putting them back on the algae. Don't worry if they get mad at you

 

[Tumbleweed]

I just did that. They are going to town on the algae. They might not have liked me when I moved them.
But they like me now.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Funny

They're gonna have some good alien abduction stories to tell

 

[Elite]

I need to get some snails soon. I'm starting to get some hair algae ..

 

[Tumbleweed]

Will Astraea and turbo snails co-exisit in a tank together?

 

[Elite]

I can't think of any reasons why not..

I love my trochus. He's a big guy and I love the brown and white bands on his foot. My only complaint is that he's primarily nocturnal so I don't see a lot of him.

Anyway, I'm thinking about getting another trochus and some ceriths to help with the sand bed.

I was snail shopping this weekend, really tough pickings in the east bay, let me know if you find either, I only had luck finding turbos.

Cheers,
