A new trend of late

[BryanCaruso]

It seems as there is a shift in the thinking about the clean up crew. 10 years or so once your cycle is complete that you go out and get a CUC. By now it seems like maybe 1 or 2 turbos and later on by certain invertebrates as your needs arise or am I wrong here. Some say when the tank is still new not enough for them to clean up

Starving critters die causing poor water quality and stress on the Zen of Life. Start slow and add as needed.

Yeah that's kinda what I have been reading it does make sense

No need for 3 crabs per gallon. I have 5 blue legs, some snails and some sand sifting snails. No algae as long as I keep my parameters in check.
