I have a 55 reef, a messy sand bed, algae coated rocks, a cleaner shrimp, and splotches of algae on the glass. I'm planning to get a linkia star and a short spined sea urchin. Open to any suggestions!

2-3 strawberry conches, 2 turbo snails, a handful of dwarf ceriths, and one massive GHA clean-up (drain tank down a ways, get in there and start pulling up all the GHA you can with paper towels so that it all comes out leaving very little on the rocks--follow that with a spritz of H2O2 on the surface, but not enough to saturate the rocks). Turbos and urchin will keep the lawn mowed from there. If you have a lot of rockwork, 3 turbos can do it. While it's still clean, get more corals and maybe macroalgae to start consuming your excess nutrients!

for CUC? I buy from ReefCleaners. I've had generally positive experiences, and I like that John keeps a fish-free system for his inverts.
