Looking for opinions on final fish to add to my mixed reef tank. I have a 125 gallon (2’x2’x4’) tank. Currently have a quoyi parrot fish, 2 watanabei angels, a magnificent fox face, a mandarin, a Midas blenny, a naoko wrasse, 2 clowns, and a Randal goby. My plan is to add a bristle tooth tang (either a tomini or maybe a Kole tang) and maybe a Bella Rose goby? Or maybe a female mandarin as the male has bee showing off his fins lately. Is this too much? I have a large varied clean up crew, a 40g sump with an over sized skimmer, a lot of media and a Clarissea roller.

This is my first saltwater it's a 10 gallon. I got it in July already set up. I lost my coral already as I'm new and learning. I added to my cleanup crew last month and now I'm debating if I should add coral or just keep it as is.Any ideas?
Good morning reef fam.
I have a brief question on the sand work. So for my clean up crew at the moment I have a couple zombie snails and some astrea snails. The astrea snails do a great job on the rock and glass work cleaning up algae, the zombies do a good job doing what they do and help turn up the sand, and eating decaying matters of food and fish poops but what can I add or do to better up the sand with other inverts without over cleaning to much that it will interrupt the bio. I do have a bit of hair algae growing, and of course I have diatoms, but like I said I don’t want to over kill anything because the tank is doing amazing, my water parameters and everything are amazing, I do 20% water change every other week. Much appreciated
Any tips newer to the hobby.
Tank looks good other than cyano
Corals full extended and looking good
Fish/shrimp/clean up crew good too?
Thanks guys
Just moved from fluval 5 too 35gallon only 2 days in my new tank and loving it need a lot more clean up crew lol
Looking for suggestions on beginner friendly fish and corals to start adding. Tank perimeters have been stable , tank is over a month old. I have not hit “the ugly stage” but I had a couple of very mature live rocks from day 1 in my tank (the 3 on the far left). I read with seasoned live rocks the ugly stage can be prevented or severely less (not sure it’s it’s true or not but not getting my hopes up) I do not have a clean up crew right now, LFS has said it’s to early to add as I don’t have any algae in my tank yet. I have had some orangey looking algae grow on the back of the plastic cover and on the output nozzle
Currently have:
2 black and white clown fish
1 green chromis
1 blue springer damsel
Corals:
2 toad stools
1 GSP
Hello, pretty new to salt water but have fallen in love! Started with a 15g and am currently in the process of setting up/cycling a 75G. I love to gather as much information as I can! Any suggestions for clean up crew in a big tank would be great and best ways to help with the cycle process as well.
This is just some of what I currently have in my 15g some is going into the 75g when it's ready!
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?
Hey was just wondering what everyone’s favorite clean up crew including both inverts and fish
I’m in the middle of setting up my first saltwater reef tank, I don’t have water or anything and I’m not done scaping so that’s why there’s so Little Rock, but for a 15g, what snails should I get as a cleanup crew? What type of snails should I get, and how many should I get to keep the tank looking nice?
What would be some good clean up crew species for a 75 gallon tank? Looking possibly to upgrade from 55 gallon because of dimensions and have never really bought a full clean up crew at one time. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
does anyone have clean up crew recommendations? I have 3 blue legged hermit crabs but I’ve had to scrub the algae 3x this week alone, I bought a snail but it didn’t make it through the trip from the pet store. Any ideas??
