Clean up crew for an SPS tank

[mattsilvester]

Hi All,

I am seeting up my first SPS tank. It will be a BB display.

I was wondering, in the low nutrient but high lighting conditions of an SPS system, is there a need for an army of clean up crew?

What do you have in your set up in terms of type and quantity?

Thanks,

I would be interested in hearing some advise about this too.

Rule of thumb is...if you can count the number of snails, you don't have enough.

That said I would not recommend a low nutrient system. That and combination of high light will give you pale sps and you will be back here asking about improving sps colors. I suggest feed your fish and run an efficient filtering system for your tank (skimmer, fuge etc).
