as always, I turn to my trusted r2r friends for help.

What are your recommendations for my CUC for a 29 gallon biocube. Tank has been cycling and has lots of brown algae on the live rock and some on the sand bed and now some green flowing algae. Whats the best type and number of CUC inhabitants

Id start off with about 20-25 snails
about 15 hermit crabs
1 or 2 emerald crabs

That should be a good start....

+1, bucksfan summed up a pretty normal starting CUC crew. I'd say 1 emerald crab to start. Just don't go crazy and get a sea cucumber or anything.
 
Astria snails are hard workers also.
