Livestock - CUC

[kay-dee]

Hi Everyone, this is my stock list - not sure if I overstocked or this is ok but I'd like to work on my CUC. Do I need to add another crab & snail?

1x Mocha Clown
1x Yellow Clown Goby
1x Purple Firefish
1x Blue Leg Hermit Crab
1x Nassarius Snail

I'm running a 20 gallon tank & everything is fine, I stick to my weekly water changes & parameter testing daily to every other day. I see my excess food likes to get dusted into 1 corner of the tank. Does my flow need to be adjusted?

It looks like you have two circulation pumps in your tank, one of which looks to be pointed at the surface, which is great. I don't think you need more circ here. If you see detritus accumulating in a corner, get it with your siphon hose when you do your water changes, or more frequently with your trusty turkey baster, which is a very important piece of reefing gear everyone should have

I do think you should add a few algae eating snails like Astrea or Cerith snails, etc. You could definitely add a couple more hermit crabs. Provide the hermits with a variety of empty shells to change into or they can go after your snails to take their shell.

I'm sure others will have lots more suggestions! Good luck!
