    does anyone know of anything that goes something like for every gallon in your tank you should have blank number of this type of clean up crew animal? i am going to do a build your own clean up crew thing online because algae gets out of control in my tank. i have nothing to eat any diatoms and the only thing in my tank that eats algae is a lawnmower blenny and he is picky. My tank is 30 gallons and all i have in it right now are 5 fish and some live rock. i plan on adding a bunch of corals soon but have never done them before and do not know how my tank will react once they are in. thank you for your help in advance

    I would just fill out the form on reefcleaners and they will recommend a clean up crew for your tank specifically.

    I disagree whole-heartedly with the "x number per gallon" rule that seems to be the norm for far too many vendors. ReefCleaners, OTOH, will build a custom CuC designed specifically for your tank

    thanks! i have never thought of using that because i know they do not ship to me but i guess they could tell me what would be good numbers to get for my tank
