My tank

Here are a couple of pics of my tank. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I am probably getting some snails or cleaner shrimp tomorrow. Also which would you recommend shrimp or snails. I might get some more liverock and rearrange it but I dont know.
Anywho for the pics.

Re: My tank

I can tell from the bits of hair algae on the glass that your system is young.If the cycle is complete a variety of snails will take care of it.Maybe one mexican turbo and a dozen of astreas or trochus snails will clear that up.Skunk Cleaners aren't really considered part of a clean-up crew but if your system is stable than by all means add one.If you have sand than a few sand stirrers like nassarius snails,ceriths and queen conchs maybe beneficial also.

Good luck-nice clowns and system.

Re: My tank

Also with the sand stirrers. I have 10lbs of fake rock or whatever and 10 lbs of live rock. Will it be ok to rearrange it and also should I get more rock?
With the sand stirrers should I go ahead and rearrange it to where the rock has very minimal sand underneath it so they dont get hurt if I do get some.

Re: My tank

Most people aim for 1-2lbs of live rock per gallon.That comes out to 24-48lbs in your system.Adding another 10lbs would be great.Rearranging the rocks won't harm anything,it takes me months before I get the aquascaping just the way I like it.Your rocks won't harm the snails that bury in the sand.

Re: My tank

If a mod could move this to the tank showcase part of the forums that would be great. Didnt see that section at first.
