cuc
Going to lfs which has a large variety of cuc. Have a 135g with approx 120lbs lr. Currently have a small amount of turbo, narcissus snails, and hermit crabs. I know I need to up my numbers. Current live stock- leopard and six line wrasses, royal gramma, hippo tang, chromi, clown, softies,lps. Any suggestions. Thanks

Your tank looks good with what you got IMO. That coralline is coming along nicely.

I agree, how old is your tank? You don't want to add more CUC than what the tank can handle or you will starve the CUC and they will die, decompose, and become food for algae which would be counter productive to the cause.

thanks guys already went and got some more stuff...
Those are not the most current pics.There is more work for the cuc than in the pics! more or less looking for a answer as to numbers of xxxx like the cuc that they sell for a 125 that have 1000000 of each. that is what seems overkill to me. we ended up picking up a cuc pack for 75-90 gal. on top of what i have i should be sitting pretty.

It really isn't as easy as XX snails per XX gallons of water. It all depends on your bioload, nutrient export, etc. I would recommend to go slow get a couple different types of snails and see what they do, and if in a couple weeks they aren't doing the job, go buy a few more.
