Jai'galaar Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 What cleaning crew will I need for a 5g tank? I want to keep a small fish with them and of course some corals, without getting the bioload level too high. Quote Link to comment
Murphs_Reef Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I would go with a mix of a couple Cerith and Astrea, then a Nassarius or 2 for the sand bed. 1 Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I think starting with 3 Cerith snails and slowly adding the snails proposed by Murphych would be a good plan. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jakesaw Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I wouldn't add a CUC til you one ( as needed ) I didn't really get any signifcant algae growth until I went from std aquarium light FOWLR and upgraded to powerful reef light. I got some crabs a little early and had to spot feed em til my tank matured a little. 2 Quote Link to comment
Murphs_Reef Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Oh yeah of course you need to have algae for them to graze on. Sorry I didn't mean to add all of my suggestions to a new aquarium. It needs to be cycled and matured enough to sustain them. 1 Quote Link to comment
