CUC suggestions

[tntdsol]

I am looking for suggestions on a CUC. I have a 29 gallon BioCube that has been up and running for a while. I Currently have a snail package from Reefcleaner.org, as well as, a pompom crab and a pistol shrimp. I am mainly looking for suggestions on critters that will keep the sand clean and stirred up. I was thinking about a serpent star. Are there any particular critters that are recommended?


Just in case anyone wants to know I do have 2 clowns, a yellow watchman goby, and assorted corals.

Thanks

Also can anyone recommend a website to order CUC from other then Reefcleaner.org. Preferably someone that offers some kind of free shipping and has a large selection of inverts.

free shipping is going to be tough unless your willing to spend over $100

I've had success with bluezoo if I had to pick a site to order from. Over 125 dollars is free shipping, thats not bad and everything is covered by their garuentee.

That pistol is a BULLDOZER.. my sandbed was flat before I got one, now it looks like a desert. They're also constantly non-stop digging. They don't bother anything but they'll bury your plate corals :lol2:

Nassarius snails are the #1 best thing IMO, they live in the sand. They're a must have..

Avoid sandsifting starfish and serpents really won't do too much good other than cleaning up detrius.

I have a few Nassarius snails and plan on picking up a few more in the next couple days. I love my pistol shrimp...Don't mind his digging and I dont currently have any plate corals. I picked up a couple of the mini serpant stars for free the other day. I am not big on sand sifting stars, but plan on adding a larger serpent in the future.

I will check out bluezoo now!

Thanks

Nassarius are my favorite snails for keeping the sand active. I enjoy watching the come from underneath the sand and then bury themselves before and after feeding times. I always keep theses in my tanks!
