So I’ve got a question.. I have a 55 gallon saltwater aquarium with 20 gallon sump. I neglected the tank for about a two month time frame due to circumstances (not proud of it).. been trying to get it back up and running like it used to. I have 2 clownfish, a royal gramma, coral beauty, 2 chromis, and a Kleins butterfly. My cleanup crew was awful before with only two turbo snails and two emerald crabs. The two turbo snails are no longer in the tank. Would 2 trochas, 3 cerith, 2 nassarius, 2 dwarf hermits, and a cleaner shrimp be a sufficient cleanup crew? That’s with the two emerald crabs already there. And potentially a lawnmower blenny at some point
Any tips to start a Copepods Culture?
I was wondering if there’s any difference between these 2 Nassarius snails. I’m planning to order my CUC soon, but I’m not sure if they’re basically the same except for shell color
Hi new to marine. Just added fish. Corals coming thursday. Natural seawater used supplied by naturalseawatersuppliers.co.uk. just wanted to say hi. Not sure how many people on this app.
Had a question for anyone that owns a court jester goby(Rainfords goby) or bi-color blenny. Do they do a good job eating hair algae? Which one is better at eating the algae if you’ve owned both? Thanks!
First sea urchin! Any advice is much appreciated on how to keep them happy!
I'm noticing this bumble bee shrimp is always with this sea urchin. Is that a normal symbiotic behavior?
One time we had a puffer fish but we sold him and the video is the reasen hé eat all of my corals.
Follow up to last question. I have a kleins butterfly in the 55, seems small for him but he’s been there for about two months and seems happy. I wasn’t aware that butterflies love to nip at corals. I currently have no corals in the tank, but want to add them soon once the parameters are where I’m comfortable with. What are some corals that would go well in the 55 without the Klein potentially nipping at them. I really like soft corals, but I’m unsure with the butterfly. What are some recommendations?

Is there a safe salt water fish paint for repairs to my fake coral insert?
genuine question… anyone had success ordering livestock from this app’s marketplace? I need one more coral to finish the list I made when I set out on this journey. my LFS guys he doesn’t like to mess with it so I really don’t know what else to do, if I’m really determined to have it. it’s firework clove polyp. but I have no idea who these vendors here are, how risky shipping a coral is, how it would be to work with seller if any issues, or other considerations I don’t even know about. it’s really hot here in tx so being in the truck or delivered to my door while I’m at work… I just don’t know…
Sexy shrimp settling in under BTA. Do you guys spot feed them or let them pick up what they can.
