Badly in need of some cleanup crew. Nitrates are 2.7 and phosphates 0.03
I’m getting a white tail tang but think he’ll even need some assistance with this mess 😂
Current cleanup crew is one conch, one boxer shrimp, one blood red shrimp and one hermit crab.
I’m in college so I’m taking advantage of mastersfischs current discounts to get a cleanup crew going. My tank is 125 gallons
 
yeah man you need to stock up for a tank that size!

Personally, I really like:

Turbo snails: massive algae eaters, basically sea cows
Trochus snails: fast and efficient algae eaters, can reproduce in our tanks
tuxedo urchins: excellent algae mowers, but will knock over and drag around any frags that aren't super secure
dwarf cerith snails: tiny little guys that I think are great getting into crevices that other bigger snails can't access

As always, I strongly recommend ordering from Reef Cleaners because their prices and customer service are excellent, I've been using them for over 10 years: https://www.reefcleaners.org/
 
I’m in Ireland, but I just ordered 20 trochus, 10 cerith, 10 hermits, a tuxedo urchin, a sandsifting star and another conch.
Should be here Friday, can’t wait. I was very tempted to get a sea hare but was worried about them with power heads

Wow the prices are amazing! Snails are typically 5 euro here, same as the smaller hermits. Larger species can be 12 euro. I though i was doing well getting my crew for 2-3 euro a piece 😂 emerald crabs are typically 25 euro here!
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
