Any opinions???

[ashley]

Hey eveyone..so i want to add some fish or invert that are hardy and good at grazing the live rock to help keep them clean. I currently am running a 1 and old 30 gallon tank. I have some turbos and red and blue legged crabs and one sand sifting star. I want my live rock to be cleaner...any opinions would be much appreciated...

Thanks

When you say that you want your rock cleaner, what do you mean specifically? Are you seeing a type of algea or something like detritus build up?

 

[ashley]

No theres no algea..ok there is but its coraline algea. Theres some detritus..

What kind of flow do you have in the tank (return and power heads)?

Snails. A diverse selection not too huge is prob a very good thing.

There are times a blow off the rocks with turkey baster and quickly follow with a water change.
Like stated above- flow & Trochus are helpful.
