Fish and Cleaning Crew Recommendations

[Vish7792]

Hey All,

Just joined the community, looking forward to learn from all of ya.

I have Redsea Reefer XL 525 and tank is established for around an year now. I have the following fish

-Regal blue tang
-Royal Gramma
-Coral Beauty
-Timor Wrasse
-Pair of Ocellaris Clownfish
-Pajama Cardinal
-Filefish
-Bluethroat TriggerFish

-Starfish
-Cleaner Shrimp
-SeaUrchin
-Cucumber Fish

I do 25% water changes every week and even after thorough cleanup, I see red algae buildup on my sand. It's not cyno as it's not slimy. Siphoning makes it clean for a day or two and then slowly starts building up.

Question 1 - I do 25% water changes every week and even after thorough cleanup, I see red algae buildup on my sand. It's not cyno as it's not slimy. Siphoning makes it clean for a day or two and then slowly starts building up. I was thinking about a diamond goby to add to the cleaning crew. Also, looking for recommendations.

Question 2 - Recommendations for 2-4 compatible fish I could add ?


My parameters are in the Pic attached

Could you take some picture close up as to what you need help identifying? :upside-down-face:

Your phosphates are a bit high, what are you using to test? - consider cutting down on your feeding!

Do you have any snails and/or crabs?

I’d suggest a few fighting conchs, and probably 2 dozen nassarius snails to help keep the substrate clean. They do an excellent job in my tank.
