ummm will I? Should I get a few more snails? I have 6 in my 29g tank right now and they do a decent job of cleaning(I should probably get about 5 more)
I'm thinking of getting 10 more? I'm upgrading by 70watts if it makes a differance |

There is a good chance you will some sort of algea increase with increassed light intensity. How much light where you running before the upgrade? If your going from 30 to 100 watts yes you will be have much more algea and more snails will help.

My guess would be yes, but a minor one.
I switched from Normal Output lighting to 2 - 175watt halides and had a mad breakout of green hair and cyano. My lawnmower blennie took care of the hair, but the cyano is still subsiding. |
