Hey all!
im currently restarting my reef tank, and I’m trying to choose a suitable cuc list to slowly add. It’s a Waterbox 20, I’ll attach pics of the scape. The current occupancy of the tank will be my two clowns and a coral banded shrimp, and I plan to add a lawnmower blenny eventually.
for inverts I’m thinking a mixture of strombus snails, zombie (nassarius) snails, turbo and trochus snails. I would like eventually to add a small starfish, or possibly an urchin, pending how well the snails mow the algae down. I live in Australia, so that does affect availability of livestock.
I’m mainly worried about numbers of each to add, so I don’t starve them out, but maintain effective sandbed turnover, algae cleaning off rocks, and just general detritus cleaning.
