Cuc

[ggNoRe]

Well I just ordered my 29g biocube hqi a few days ago and Im starting to look into different CUC options. The best I have came by so far is from ReefScavengers.Com | Saltwater Aquarium Supply | Cleaner Packages, Saltwater Fish, Corals & More!!. The 30g package and 40g package are basically the same due to free shipping on any package 40g+. This is what it comes with:
40 nassarius snails
20 nerite snails
20 blue/white leg hermits
9 scarlet reef hermits
2 porcelain crabs
2 emerald crabs
1 sally light foot crab
1 peppermint shrimp
1 serpent starfish

plus a "free mini cleaner crew" whatever that is...

all for 99$ shipped

TBH I have done very little research on cuc's and I would love as many opinions as possible. I plan to stock my tank with all kinds of corals including sps.

IMHO Thats way to many to start with.
I've found that when it comes to the CUC,there is such as critter as to many.
You want just enough to keep up with the chores.Any more and they'll start starving off.

Aww ok. I was thinking about feeding them dry algae and such. But yea maybe it's better just adding a few at a time from lfs. Only thing I'm scared of is lfs' prices lol

I agree that`s way to many for your tank. Your tank is new and there wont be much for them to eat.

You can build your own CUC on Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums, and if your order is $60 or more, shipping is included.

I also agree. They will kill each other for food and also eat each other. Way too many.
