Rate my CUC!

Rate my CUC.
60-gallon tank.
as of right now I got
1x pencil urchin
1x lawnmower blenny
3x nassarius snail
2x turbo snail
1x fighting conch
dozen of dwarf cerith snails.
And no crabs, bc I hate them.

Any other that I should add? thinking about adding trochus snail.

cannot rate the cuc without knowing how much algae is in the tank. Do you have enough algae to feed it all?

Good selection and yes, trochus, or astria or litorina are fantastic. They form the base in my aquarium.

I have some film algae, green hair algae, and brown hair algae. looks like the green hair algae may get out of hand In a few weeks.

Then you definately want trochus and other conic grazers. A mespillia urchin is a great fine algae eater also.

add some trochus snails, asterea snails, tiger/strawberry conch, and cerith snails(not the dwarf)

ill prob add trochus, why not the dwarf cerith are they not good?

they are great. but you’ll need MANY of them in a 60G. the regular sized ceriths will do a much better job at stirring the sand bed

my sand is always white, thanks to my conch. ill prob not get them anymore if they're not that effective.

you won’t always see all of them. most will be in your rock or under it getting the nooks and crannies. they are effective just at a smaller scale
