My girl saw a 240 in the thrifty nickle for 1500, complete setup. I don't know if there were fish, but I see big tanks now and again in the trib, or nickle.
I am in contact with all-glass, they say they never built a tank to that size. Ocianic hasn't gotten back with me yet.

I had a flashbask today... I remembered that my 10 inch long raid tails would eat the larger snails I could find and buy to help clean the tank. But they aren't around anymore so I don't know if they would have solved my problem or not. I also think that land crabs eat the larger snails also, I have ...

Well I KILLED my snails

I finally had it. My 280 was a breeding ground for the SOB's. I was going to bait them for a while with zuccinni, but I have heard that I could be there a LONG time. I did it a few times and got dozens of snails that way though. Hopefully this will stay in the archives so search can be used to help ...

if you really get frisky, go buy a small zuccini and cut it up into small peices and portion it out. Just have to weight it down. I usually rubber band mine to a small peice of lava rock or a big shell. My plecos LOVE IT. But then the poo alot... :oops:
