My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
I’d look at what reef cleaners recommends. It looks like a lot but they provide a lot of the smaller CUC you don’t get elsewhere but is important for your tankNice!
How do you guys balance CuC loads? Given the cost of shipping a conch, I'm inclined to get several things, but don't want to "over clean" the tank.
Current Crew:
- 6 Nassarius
- 6 Astrea
- 24 - (6?) Blue legged Hermits (we've seen a few bodies, and assume there are more)
Installed about 2 months ago
We've got a deep sand bed and diatoms are definitely present (brown film everywhere and water clarity noticeably diminished) in a 90 gal.
So, considering adding:
- 1 Fighting Conch (Reefcleaner doesn't have juveniles currently)
- 2x Halloween Hermits (the wife/kids love the look, even if they're inefficient)
- 2x Bumble Bee Snails (I'm paranoid about Vermatid...although I don't currently see any)
- (2?)x Nerite? Was thinking the back wall is just covered in film...would love to see more cleaning happening.
But, I'm very new and don't want to overload the system with cleanup crews unnecessarily
