What is in your clean up crew?

[coralfever]

I have a 30g cube set up with 2 reidii and 2 pipes. I have a few red leg hermis, some ceriths and turbos.

I'm looking to add to the crew and and curious to see what people have had success with.

I have NO clean up crew other than myself. My seahorse tanks are bare bottom and I siphon out the crap.

For my 180


170 Dwarf Ceriths - small cleaners that get to the nooks and crannies. Feed on diatoms, cyano, algal detritus, and film algae. Nocturnal cleaners that leave the sandbed at night to search for food.

55 Nassarius - scavengers that will eat leftover food and some fish waste. They will stir sand, but can also be kept in bare bottom tanks.

64 Florida Ceriths - small cleaners that get to the nooks and crannies. Feed on fine hair algae, diatoms, cyano, algal detritus, and film algae. Nocturnal cleaners that leave the sandbed at night to search for food.

39 Large & 18 Small to Medium Nerites - It will also consume some fine hair algae. A nocturnal herbivore that will feed more often at night, they tend to need some time to adjust to the limitations of the aquarium during their first week.

In my 120 I have 15 peppermints, 5 naussarius, and a queen conch who is a super hero.

I plan on adding a cuke too. I stay away from snails since I like macro algae but in the past have used astrea snails with seahorses and macro's.

I have a couple of astrea snails, a couple of turbo snails, a couple of nasarrius, and maybe six teeny blue legged hermits in my 26 gallon

Yep, I like reefcleaners too =)

I have all these and a ton of little shrimp I caught locally in the gulf of mexico, outside Galveston. They are called grass shrimp and they are funny little guys, just small and clear (they look like FW ghost shrimp) but I probably have 100 between my 55 DT and 40 sump. They are kinda like the 50 stooges, although I rarely see more than a couple at once.

I figured they would end up lunch, but my 2 banghai cardinals, watchman goby, green mandrin, blue/yellow damsel dont seem to mess with them.
