CUC Question

dileggi · 01/08/2008, 04:49 PM

As of now, my cuc consists of 5 turbo's, 5 nass snails & 5 hermits (4 blue leg and 1 scarlet.)

Is this enough? I don't want to over do it, but I'm not sure how much is enough.

Thanks in advance.

how big is your tank? we need some background info before anyone can answer that question. how big is your tank, bio load, lights.

i personally would add a crab of some sort and a serpent or bristle star. other than that you know you have enough when the sand is clean and there is little to none nussence algae.

Gotcha! I was concerned with overdoing the bio load with the smaller tank!

I appreciate your help Mike!

I highly recommend a brittle starfish. They are excellent scavengers, low maintenance, and add something that most people enjoy watching - assuming your will be somewhat active like mine.
