    I'm ready to add my CUC, Ok I've been cycling about 5 weeks. Ammonia 0 - Nitrites 0 - Nitrates 10 - Spec Garv 1.024 - PH 8.2 and Alk is normal, temp 78.

    29 Gal with 25lbs of LR.

    So what should i get for a tank my size? Right now it's just going to be FOWLR but would like to move to a mix, MUCH later, after I get a fish or two and make sure i can get the routine down and keep H2O quality good.

    Also best place to buy online? LFS seem a bit high on the prices but would like to compare.

    Thanks

    Depends on your choice of fish because a CUC will be their meal. Our sponsor, Reef Cleaners, will design a package for you and its quite inexpensive and he always add a few extras in the mix. IMO i would do blue legs, cernith snails and nerites. Thats what I have in my tank.

    yea not sure as to the fish yet but I checked Reefcleaners and did the quote for a custom package. Just waiting on the email. Haven't checked any other sites yet for prices.

    I would go with reefcleaners, no doubt about that you wont find a better price online and they always add extras

    knowing what kind tank your going to keep will sale you money in the longer run. Do some research and have a plan before you start buying a bunch of stuff.
