Cleaning Crew for FOWLR

[swamph2o]

Hey Guys,
I have a 125 FOWLR with a Huma Huma, Clown Trigger, Yellow Coris Wrasse, and some damsels. I'm also thinking about adding a Dwarf Lion down the road. Obviously, hermit crabs and snail are out of the question, but what else does everybody use for cleaning. I have a Sleeper Goby doing an amazing job on the sand bed, but I'm scrubbing the glass every couple of days...

Anybody know of a saltwater fish like the Plecos I had when I was little in the goldfish tank? I have a Lawnmower Blenny in my reef tank, but I don't think he does enough damage to the glass...

Thanks.

Sorry,

there is no pleco SW fish.

How much and what type light do you have?

You might want to reduce the photoperiod or even reduce the type of light itself. Fish don't care and LR doesn't need much.

I'd experiment with cheap stuff. Hermit Crabs, extra large snails, etc... I have tons of featherdusters that do filter feeding, then Hermit Crabs and Chocolate Chip starfish that act as a CUC. So far they've been left alone(not that they always will. You can experiment with some cheaper invertebrates and then 'see what happens'.

Clown Trigger + dwarf lion = dead lion much of the time. Might want to rethink that.
