Hey Guys First Reef tank 🥳🥳

Hello Reef 15 Gallon AIO and super excited

Cycle is almost done and diatoms are growing, pic is from first day, ammonia and nitrites are near zero and nitrates are rising.

Any recommendations for clean up crew?

Exciting! Sounds like you’ve done your research and are off to a great start. I really like Astrea Snails they do a great job on your walls and rock work.

trochus for me loves diatoms specifically!

Nice cave 🫡 and hermits to clean the sand bed and snails to cream the glass 1snail(per gallon) diamond back Golby (maybe) they do dig a lot and more corals or cover them with sand

Clean the glass *

Move corals*

My first tank is also a 15 cube! You made your cave way better then mine though

You need to get some sea snakes people really don’t like them but they are the best cleanup crew in the world, I have been in the hobby for 16 years now and I own a fish store and 73 tanks at my house and they are fine for a 15gal just be sure to keep the water right trust me on this it will pay off.🐠🐟

You are so welcome for this advice

It is the only cleanup crew I use
