Cleanup crew for 8gal nano reef

[Jayridge]

Just added an emerald crab, 2 hermits, an Astraea, and a Nassarius. I was wondering how long I should let them go at it before I add any corals and also if they are sufficient for this size on a tank. Any help, tips or advice welcome. Thank you

Adding corals would all depend on the maturity of the tank. And what type of corals are you adding? But those guys should suffice.

I am starting off with a Kenya tree. I'm getting it for free so no big loss if it dies.

 

[Reefing Madness]

Kenya Trees will grow like a weed if the tank is in ok shape. They are pretty much bullet proof.

Well that's good, I think. Also I had a question about feeding the cuc I have. I drop a small pinch of pellets in each morning, no more than 7, and I was wondering if that was to much to little or just right?

cuc?

In a 8g Nano?

 

[mrs.nanoreef]

Yes and they are happy and healthy. I've had them for months now.

I would have gotten regular nass but they had been out for awhile. It works though and they're fun.

Just seems like they'd be a bit cramped in there. But, hey, if its working for ya, very cool!!

 

[mrs.nanoreef]

If you look at my pics they aren't at all, everyone gets along too. I have a lot of and which helps and my rock work is centered to maximize territory space. Oh and the bumblebees are snails very small ones not shrimp if there was confusion on that. That would be pretty crowded lol.

I dig the Bumble Bee Snails, I've got some in my tank, although in a 240g tank, you'd be hard fetched to find one. I've had those snails the longest out of any that I've bought before. Love em!!

 

[mrs.nanoreef]

Oh yeah they are great little buggers. They will out live anything I swear. Wow in a tank that size it would be like a needle in a hay stack lol.
