I am fairly new to the fuge keeping . I have had my new setup up about a year now . I have a 135g with a 30g sump 20g frag tank and around 10 fuge all in line with the sump . My tank seems to benefit greatly from my fuge , great pod supply macro algae growing like crazy . My fuge is pretty full , as in lots of different types of algae getting dense . My question now is do I put a small clean up crew in there or what is the proper way to keep it in check ?
 
I'm not sure that I would put a clean up crew in there to be honest. If they start chomping on your macro, it will just release the nutrients back into the system. All you should have to do in a fuge is trim the macro algae occasionally.
