Heya folks

So I have a fuge that is separate from my sump with chaeto in it. it's 22 gal I was wondering what kind of a clean up crew would ya suggest in there? what I was thinking is maybe tossing a bunch of snails in there in hopes they breed. it's low flow btw.

Thank ya kindly.

Snails are great but why not take advantage of that space with something that couldn't live in your reef? Mine fuge is full of sump monsters
sump monsters? lol like what did ya have in mind? I will be adding pods in over the next couple weeks.

My favorite is my wartskin angler. Your fuge sounds like a good fit for one. In another chamber I also have a green brittle starfish (they're fish killers), and in the third section a mean crab

I actually wouldn't put snails in there - point of snail's trying to eat algae and help clean up - kinda pointless to put that in fuge

I'd put things in there that contributes to water chemistry stability such as filter eaters like feathers and sponges. Also can start a cop farm to increase biodiversity.
