Advice? CUC question

I have ordered cuc in the winter but I waited till it was 30 degrees or above

 

Supposed to be 40's by Thursday. ...

 

Ya you should be fine as its suppose to be in the mid 30's and 40's this week.

 

I bought some fighting conches in early December and they sat on my front door step for a few hours when it was below 30 degrees and they're still alive and kicking.

 

IMO what is normally listed is overkill. For an alternate opinion, you could check the BRS videos regarding their 52 week build. In one of the episodes about late November they talked about CUC's and the amt they were putting in their tank. It was quite a bit smaller than that, if I remember correctly.

 

Unless you feed a lot, a lot of them are probably going to starve

 

I usually just get a nano pack with a good mix of different snails and a few crabs.
Kind of depends on size of tank and if you have a lot of algae or whatever problem or if you trying to avoid algae or whatever.
So my question to you. How old, how big, how much sand does your tank have?

 

Sorry @new2salt not trying hijack your thread but does anyone know where to find some trochus snails? I have been looking for a while but can't seem to find any in stock.

 

Good. Sounds about right. You can always order more when tank matures.
