So I'm at the beach in Cape cod and started searching through tide pools and inlets. I found a bunch of clams, boiled them, and although they're a little gritty, tasted pretty good.
I've read many forums about people collecting nsw and critters and putting them in their tanks. I finally have the opportunity, but I want to do it right. I have a 37g DT with 29g sump established fo over a year. I have a friend looking after it, so hopefully everything will be intact when I get back.
I also set up a 7g before I left with songes that had been sitting in my sump for a while and water from my last water change.
I brought 2 5g buckets with me and plan on collecting some snails, hermits, water, maybe some clams, rock and sand. Question is- where do I put it. I'd love a new cuc for my sump and DT, pods, crabs, macros, etc. Will it be safe to acclimate them to the Sump or DT (can they carry diseases or parasites that can effect my tanks), should I use the new 7g tank, or should I just set up a whole new system?
Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.
