Hi everyone;
I have just completed my cycle and plan to introduce copepods, macroalgae and 2 clowns at the end of the week.
I’m wanting some clean up crew for left over food, diatoms/algae. I’m just wondering about what your recommendations in terms of inverts are; and as to the timing of when to add them - I don’t have any algae issues yet but haven’t ran the lights. I intend to start ramping up the lights slowly over the next few days; and want to be proactive in terms of control of algae but I’m concerned about clean up crew starving…
-should I feed supplemental algae tablets/sheets or is that counter
productive.
-should I wait for algae to develop and then add
-should I add snails etc slowly so as to ensure there is enough food.
