CUC questions

[FixIt]

In a LED Biocube 32 what would be a good clean up crew? I have 3 nassarius 3 snails that begin with the letter A I dont remember the name and 3 hermits at the moment. All are on the smaller side. I want to make sure they are going to do well. I have no fish or coral yet. All my water parameters are good according to my lfs except my calcium that is only 400. Need to know what to use to bring it up also. Thanks....

I think you need a couple 1000 copepods in there.
A few dwarf Ceriths, dwarf planaxis and N Vibex.
Don’t chase your Calsium as that is perfect at 400 for a new tank.
Do you own your own test kits or do you rely on a LFS?

I have test a test kit and have been playing with it. I got the same reading they did so I may not have them do it anymore. I do want to upgrade my test kit before I start putting coral in it though.

What kind test kits you have.

Consider not add any more cuc yet . There's not enough algae for more to eat yet .

I think they are API and it is the master reef kit as well as ammonia and ph I believe.

Those aren’t reliable but as starter kits to get used to testing and practice they are great.
I would upgrade your kits in the near future as redsea or salifert just to name two are so much accurate as API.

I am not going to at this point and will wait for more algea. I am looking at this question for the future.
