The snails have significantly reduced detritus in my 50-gallon reef tank. The Sand Sifting Star is especially effective at stirring the sand. All snails are active and healthy after two weeks. Easy to set up and maintain.

I noticed a noticeable improvement in sand cleanliness after introducing the package. The Cerith and Nassarius snails are active and eat detritus efficiently. A little more cleanup effort is needed initially, but it’s worth it.
