Dragline322 is an unknown quantity at this point
ok so I have been checking the parameters and the last few days they have been
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10ppm
PH 8.2
Salanity 1.024
Temp averaging 77F
Went to the LFS and he said that algae is common, and suggested adding hermits, snails and either an Emerald or Sally Lightfoot to help rid some of the Algae, also said up the waterchange from 10% to 15-20% to help keep the nitrate levels low thus depriving the algae.

I added 2 turbo snails, and 1 sally lightfoot... I know that the standard rule is "only bad things happen fast" I have had the tank running for 4 weeks. Did I add livestock too fast? and when it is time I wanted to add more cleanup crew but wasnt satisfied with the selection of the local LFS
What is a quality online source for Marine Livestock?
Thanks for the input.
