Welcome! What’s your current CUC like and who are you planning to add?

hi, currently i have two hermit crabs, 5 astrea snails and probably 5 nassarius snails. i say probably because there's usually a baby or two wandering the tank and i find the occasional empty shell too. im planning to add two more hermits, at least 5 more astrea snails, probably some kind of brittle star or serpent star, a turbo snail and a lawnmower blenny (got him in QT right now!). I have a 40 gallon tank so....yeah I seriously need to work on bolstering my CUC to support the plans i have for this tank.

Sounds like a great plan. Start a build thread when you get the chance!

Just stopped by to say hi! Ill post a full tank shot in a month or two to show where im at now, and another shot in 4 to 6 months to show where I wanted to begin my "end goal" for my tank. im using what most people dont consider serious gear and hope to also lower the barrier to entr(eef)y to the hobby to newcomers. Currently im getting my water purity and nutrient levels just perfect and trying to introduce more algae eating livestock to bolster my small clean up crew.
