CUC HELP please...

I have a standard 30 gallon with quite a bit if live rock in it. 55+lbs. Anyhow I'm getting this rapid (what I believe is) diatom bloom. So far I have 3 peppermint shrimp, 3 Mexican turbos, and 10 small blue legged hermits. I assume I need a bigger CUC as my tank matures. Can anyone suggest how much more and why types I may need? I plan on having a friendly FOWLR tank... Thanks! Also, nitrites and ammonia are steady at 0. Can I add fish now, along with the rest of the CUC??

 

Diatoms always happen with new tanks - it will go away after a little bit.

 

Yup, mine went away last month. If you have real algae though email John at reefcleaners he's the best

 

Oh and for inverts that are part of the clean up crew, make sure you have your nitrates in check.

 

well diatom you can suck out, and see how the three turbos do. do your fish thing and add cuc accordingly cuz you don't wanna starve them.

 

Great, I think I'll get my first fish or two this weekend... I'd like to start with an ocellaris clownfish. Any suggestions on a good ACTIVE fish that I could add with the clown or the week after adding the clown?

 

Dartfish are pretty sick, I have a couple in my 46

 

I like most types of Gobies myself...
