What clean up crew do you recommend for a sump? I have a 180 reef with a 30 gallon sump. I am trying to increase my pod population in my refugium in my sump... so I don't want something that is going to eat my pods. What do you recommend? I notice my sump gets detritus pretty quick?

thanks!

I want to know this too. I have little algae spots in my fuge but lots of pods. I'd be cool to have a sump critter. As long as it doesn't sting

I think what you keep there really depends upon your desired outcome. I've had and seen people keep everything from various crabs to snails, nudibranches and urchins to macroalgaes and flower anemones. I think I've seen mangroves in them too. I keep emerald crabs myself on occasion and I have seen some usage of storing shrimp and stars for acclimation too.
