Biocube 28 new Critters cleaners stocking question

ddavefish · 05/22/2011, 07:36 PM

I purchased a 28 gallon JBJ and it has been running 1.5 yrs has live rock and sand 1 clown and a small wrass . I will pick it up weds and move it all including the water to my house.
I want to add some cleaning crew critters and need suggestions on what type of snails crabs and hopefully I would like to get a coral shrimp.

I have 0 Knowledge and the owner of the tank suggested I go home and do some research before i picked up the tank.
I have been reading like crazy -- Looking for some advice

You may want to invest in new bulbs. Old bulbs can cause algae problems.

IMO hermit crabs can be vicious!!! I think that's what happened to my 2 sexy shrimp that I've been unable to find. I only had 1 survive. I'm hoping nothing happens to him. I love those lil things... lol. like I said thats just my opinion!! Plus when you feed your corals, my hermits in my 29 they tend to steal food from my corals, I don't like that. So in my 40 and my 58, they don't have any hermits in them. As well as Peppermint shrimp too, they will steal food from your corals. I was so mad at them I was wishing my Anemone would have pulled them in and ate them. I like the cerith snails, I can't remember what the others are called I'll have to do some research and find out..
