CUC in fuge

Curious does anybody run one to keep detritus/algae in check?

I threw a few hermits, an emerald crab, and a turbo snail in mine....

Well Hi there Mopar!! Fancy seeing you here!!

I keep Nassarius snails in my fuge, to stir the sand bed. I wouldn't keep much else. You want Algae to grow in your fuge, even nuisance algaes are better off in the fuge, than in the display. You also don't want anything that will have a negative impact on your pod population.

I also keep a small CUC in the fuge. Also beneficial because it allows them to breed and then you can transfer some to the DT.

Good to see you too man, I have some chaeto and feather calupera in the fuge now and both seem to be doing well I just noticed some detruis. Guess I'll be picking up a few snails, thanks guys.
