Hi guys!
I would love to have your advice on my cleaner/algae control "team" for my reef tank.
Before some figures...
I have a 150g reef tank running for 4 months now and still leaving with the diatoms blast that don´t stop.... A part of that all the indicators are good (Nitrate, Nitrite, Amnonia, phosphate all at zero for many months; PH: 8.1-8.3, KH: 7.5, Salinity: 1.025; Calcium: 450 and magnesio: 1350) and I already have some leaving stock as:
corals: (all doing great)
Soft corals (Xenya and Kenya)
Zoos
Mushs
Toadstool Mushroom Leather Coral
SPS (hammer, plate coral, euphylia)
anemona BBT: (doing great)
1 rose
1 green
shrimps:
2 cleaner shrimps
2 fire shrimps
Fishes (no more entries: full stock already entry)
1 Sailfin/Algae Blenny
2 oceralis clown
1 fox face rabbitfish
1 Kole tang
1 Powder Blue Tang
1 coral beauty
1 midas blenny
1 Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse
2 Blue Throat Triggerfish
Other Inverts
12 nassarius snail
12 turbo snails
8 hermit crab (2 blue/6 other specie not sure which one)
1 sand starfish
I would love to have your recomendation on Ditritus and algae pack for this tank in therms of species of snails, crabs, etc and also quantities. So far I have the impresion that my actual cleaners are not dealing with the ditritus and algae, but I don´t want to overstock them...
Would please give me some suggestions? Can/Should I increase? Any special species?
many thanks in advance.
cheers,
Diego
