CUC ideas

[palmer373]

im planning on ordering a CUC in a group buy the local club is doing but i have a problem, im not sure what to buy. I have a 75g FOWLR with a yellow tang, royal gramma, 3 blue-green chromis, lawnmower blenny, and a yellow watchman goby. i had about 10 hermits and 15ish snails but i had the magarita snails (i think) and they couldnt turn over when they fell cause their shell shape is round and flat. i now have about 5 hermits and no snails and everything is looking sortof dirty. i need something to clean up detritis on the sand and rocks, something to clean the glass of algea and whatever else, and something to just pick up scraps. im also plumbing in a 33g 48"x12"x12" reef so also a list of a CUC for that would be nice also. i have a 6 inch DSB in the 75 and im planning on a 1-2" sand bed in the 33. thanks for the suggestions.

since this is a FOWLR tank i would highly recomend Turbo snails. besides the turbos you could also get nassarius snails, maybe a conch, an emerald crab or 2, brittle star, a cucumber (if you have nothing that will pick on it) and of course the typical hermits.

the options you have for a clean up crew are virtually limitless here. FOWLR tanks you never have to worry about corals. as long as you dont have any agressive fish you should have no problem with what ever you get.

whatever you decide to get just make sure you get a few turbo snails. heck, you could even get a pistol shrimp to go with your yellow watchman goby. that would keep your sand bed nice and turned from all the burrowing.
