    Hey there looking to get some guidance on what is recommended for my tank to keep it clean and tidy. I have a 26 gallon bow. This is what is in it....
    26 lbs of live rock
    2 pajama cardinals
    1 lawnmower blenny
    1 Singapore Angel
    2 turbo snails
    A red leg hermit
    3 sand sifting snails

    I am going to turn this to a mix tank soon so i want everything to 3reef safe as well.
    What other pieces of the clean up crew could I add to make my tank more efficient??
    Thanks!

    +1, get that for sure and maybe add a tuxedo urchin and AT YOUR OWN RISK a emerald and a cleaner shrimp or similar

    I just received my order from John on Wednesday. He has great service and you will most certainly receive some freebees. I was sent 5 blue leg hermits and a zebra hermit that I never ordered. I recommend his services.

    OK cool, so that's not to bad. Is just like 1000 snails lol. You guys got all those snails as well?

    How to you the know this John guy and how do I tell him that you guys are sending me his way. I wouldn't mind getting little extra something from him. ;)

    Cosmo why do you say at your own risk.... Aren't those guys suppose to be good for your tank?

    I've been dealing with John for a few years and through that a friendship came about.

    You don't need to be his best friend to get extra's...that is something he does on every order because he's cool like that.

    Emeralds have been accused of eating coral which may or may not be true. In the years I've been in the hobby I've had them in every tank and never had a "rogue". I've seen them picking algae out between polyps or around the base of SPS/LPS. That is probably the case in 95% of the "crab eating my zoa's" threads IMHO.

    John is one of the most well known and respected sellers on this forum and for good reason.
    He proves his commitment to excellence with every question he answers as well as every order he ships, and if there is ever an issue with your order, well, let’s say most people think they hit the lottery by the time he's done making sure everything is correct and they are satisfied!

    Here is a quick search i did for CUC Recommendation
    You will find John being recommended in 99% of those threads!

    Reef monkey. Sweet profilepic by the way. Haha. And good to know about the emerald. Thanks for the tid bit

    So I guess I'm going with the man you guess swear by which I'd OK by me. I like stand up people and love coming business with people like that.

    Are there people that sell live stock on here?

    Bob and Ibluewater.com have always treated me right. He's a hell-uv-a nice guy too.
