10G Nano - 11 Pounds of Live Rock, 10 Pounds of Live Sand. Thoughts on what I should be grabbing for a CUC? I'll have 2 clowns and will primarily be zoos, ricordia and SPS.

One or two trochus snails, and perhaps one scarlet hermit crab. Use something like a Mag-Float to keep the glass clean, and vacuum or stir up your sand bed on occasion to keep it clean. If you want to add something like a cleaner or fire shrimp, that would be fine too. JMO, GL.

Ceriths are nice because they seem to concentrate on the live rock. Hermits are interesting in a nano if you like them, but they may prey on ceriths.

I'm assuming you'll be starting with juvenile clowns? Do you plan on moving them to a bigger tank as they mature?
