I now have my algae under such good control I was thinking of putting some snails in a two gallon vase along with other stuff (hitchhiker crab) because I don't want to flush them. Then I could give them away when it's convenient. Would this vase need circulation/filter if I put in live sand and rock? I would like this vase to be kinda permanent. No lighting other than natural. Need to do soon because the snails are now going after my plants. They never did before. I also don't trust any crab but blue legs in a reef. Can it be done? I'm not talking fish or anything like that. :?:

O.K. The plants I have are codium algae, chaetomorpha (spaghetti) alage, caulerpa alage, and a red compact fern algae (that's beautiful) that nobody has seen before. Now that sounds like alot, but I have them stuffed behind the back top of the reef and they don't take up room and grow like crazy. I have been cutting them back once every three weeks. Took out two turbo snails because I think they would starve and they started to go after the red plant. No algae, the bad kind...thank goodness due to the plants. It's funny because people who come over that don't have aquariums always say, " I didn't know plants could grow in saltwater." To which I reply, "Yes, and there are rocks on the moon too."
