I would do
Actinic Geisemann great color
Actinic White UVL good color decent par
Blue Plus great blue and par
Aquasun. great par and growth.
If you like a lot of blue then add two blue plus and not Actinic White so your first choice.
Congrats ...mine split and stayed right next to each other in the back. I figure if the clone ever decides to move I can try to move him out but if happy where it is so be it.
Tiger tail is one of the standard ones. You don't want a filter feeding sea cucumber. There are a whole variety of them...see what one of our sponsors like Reef to Reptials,OGII, or AO has they are fairly cheap.
Side of the tank stuff I think everyone gets some....cleaner the water the less times per week you have to clean it.
Hair algae is another story, I luckily don't have that one. I know a sea hare will mow it down...snail wise mexican turbo think will eat it....sure others will chime in.
You are the Snail Queen. ;D
Let us know what kind of algae you have that is a good point.
I think the sea cucumbers are great....just wanted you to know the risk before getting one.
Though I sort of think it falls into the urban myth category.
CUC= clean up crew
Yeah I would add some snails ....1 strombus or fighting conch would work....yes queen would be huge.
cucumber 1 would also be OK....just know that if severely stressed they can more or less turn themselves inside out and wipe out your tank. Just read before you get one OK, I...
You are a bit limited in that sized tank...maybe stick to a couple more snails.
I have a wide variety of snails, hermits, sea cucumber, peppermint shrimp, cleaner shrimp.
I had the same tank. Great sand cleaners are conchs maybe one, cucumber like tiger tail again one, and hermits.
Don't do too many hermits they will overrun you snail population.
That sets up the CUC considering you have some other snails. But those three do a good job on the sandbed.
Please know...
Dr Jim's is going to be loaded with good stuff, he is very conciencious. I second looking to see what people are selling who are getting out ... I got mine that way and was excellent.
