Hi everyone!!!!

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to these questions in terms of my live stock for my biocube 14 gal with 40 lbs of LS, 16 lbs of LR, 14 in DT and 2lbs in the 2nd chamber which is a modified refugium. I have 11 blue legged hermits, 5 turbo snails, 1 orange sea star, 1 fire shrimp, 2 occ clowns, 1 firefish, 1 green ricordea shroom, and a branching hammer frag. (stock lighting and 3 gal weekly water changes)

First things first is there any kind of fish that I could add to my live stock list? (other firefish, dragonettes (established copepods), gobies, ect..)

I usually only get diatoms on my sand bed (not acually fine sand substrate but it was live crushed argonite coral i think) and some hair algae on one rock and the back wall. Any way I could get some more members of my cuc to rid my tank of this bothersome algae?

Should I get another powerhead like the Koralia nano pump?

Finally any new coral suggestions, my LFS has some nice new frogspawn? (also I was interested in galaxia, torch, and other ricordeas any easy coral to maintain)

Thanks for your help!!!

No more fish.
Koralia 1 would be a good addition.
Sea star probably is not a good idea in your size tank.
Be sure to clean the rubble in the back of chamber 2 if you insist on having rock back there. Personally, I just keep chaeto back there.
Post some pics :)

No more fish, and turbo snails x5 is no bueno they get big. I have one in my 28g and it can be a pain at times by knocking stuff over. I would think 5 will get pretty crazy. Galaxia is a very aggressive coral with decently long sweepers, may want to steer clear of it. Frogspawn and torch coral are fine as long as they are away from each other.
