Cuc

[Scoobydoo]

Should put a cuc member in tank before fish?

 

[salt2salt]

yeah, but you'll need to feed them

 

[smol_reef]

I think before or after fish would be fine. I put mine in after I added fish just so I wouldn't have to specifically feed CUC.

 

[Zach B]

Only if there is sufficient food for them, as in algae or supplemented as stated above

 

[Scoobydoo]

What would you suggest to put in

Tank looks sparse to me. I'd add a fish and wait for it to get dirtier before adding CUC. I like Trocus, Cerith, and Conchs for snails.

Sparse?

Sparse?

Sparse for food for the clean up crew to eat. No diatoms. No algae. No fish poop. No excess Fish food. There nothing in there. I think adding CUC is putting the cart before the horse. If you're tank is cycled, I'd put in a fish first. Then clean up crew later. If not, your gonna have to feed them algae wafers or fish food to keep them alive.

I had my fish in for a few weeks before adding a CUC.

Nice scape by the way. Going to look great once you get some corals growing into it.

I'm not waiting until the algae is visible before adding some snails. It's there forming already.
