How big is your CUC?

[HoppyBunny]

I am just curious what you all have for a clean up crew. I am going to place a last minute order at reefcleaners.org for the group buy but I am interested to see what everyone else has in their tank.

Here is what I have in my 110 gallon (my crew is diminished because I treated the tank with interceptor and lost a number of crabs that I wasn't able to remove before the treatment).

8 scarlet hermits
8 red leg hermits
10 nassarius snails
4 turbo snails
1 tuxedo urchin
1 longspine urchin
3 emerald crabs (that are about to get the boot)


Thinking about adding (but not sure about quantities):
dwarf ceriths
Florida ceriths
nerites
more hermits

What do you have in your tank?

Here is what I have in my 125 gallon.

10 red leg hermits
10 Super Tongan Nassarius Snails
2 Cyano Eating Snails (Margarita look-alikes)

Will be adding these guys to my cuc
1 Tiger Tail Cucumber
4 Fighting Conchs
Either 10 Margaritas or a few Nerites

I'd go with the nerites and florida ceriths. I'd skip the dwarfs if they are going in anything over 10 gallons. I like astrea snails too. More hermits just means more snails eaten. I use cleaner shrimp for finding uneaten food in the rocks and nassarius snails will get the stuff in the sand. I also keep a fighting conch. He is slows but he cleaned my substrate in a major way. One is all I needed in a 58g

The clean up Crew in my 37 is pretty small --One trochus snail and two margaritas. If it gets bad I just clean it myself.

I really love banded trochus snails. Wish they were sold more frequently instead of those stupid Margarita snails (who has a cold water set up for them anyway?!)
I got regular turbos, chestnut turbos, some astreas, some banded trochus, mexican red leg hermits, a couple of small emerald crabs, cerith snails, fighting conchs, a lettuce nudi, tuxedo and longspine urchin

will be getting pincushion urchins, Chitons, Nerites andFlorida Ceriths next week

50 mexican turbo snails

I like Scarlets and Hawaiin Zebras. They seem to co-exist. Snails and crabs as a rule do not mix, more shells for the crabs.
