Cuc

Hey all. I have another quick question for everyone out there and was not sure where to post it so I guess here is as good a place as any. I have a CUC but was wondering how to determain if what I have is good or if i should get more, if so what? Thanks for the help in advance.

 

What type of CUC do you have specifically and how large?

TIA

 

i would go to reefcleaners.org (3reef sponsor) website and go to the custom cuc section. you will fill out a form giving them your info and they will recommend a cuc.

 

Currently in my 75 DT with 100lb of rock I have, 6 blue leg hermits (read on here not to have to many hermits and think I will not buy anymore). And you will have to bare with me on the snail names. 3 turbo snails. 2 Nassarius, and 6 other algae eating snail, a mix. I also have 3 emerald crabs, a brittle star and an algae blenny.

 

Honestly I do not think that is even close to enough for that size tank, especially snail wise. I also agree 100 % that contacting reefcleaners and allowing them to assist in putting a cuc package together for you, is an excellent idea. I am with you on limiting the number of hermits, but that is just me.

 

Yea...unforanatly I didnt read that until I bout them. (A mistake) I had more snails than that and even with a bunch of unused shells I still lost a bunch of snails to the hermits. Hence I will not be buy more hermits. I guess my biggest concern was added too many snails and such and having them run out of food. I also forgot to mention (sure it does not make much difference) I have a pepermint shrimp and a cleaner shrimp. I plan on buy a few more pepermints this week.

 

you can specify that you don't want hermits when you request your custom cuc at reefcleaners.

 

Will reefcleaners give discount to 3reef members? Asking out of couriosity only. Im waiting on the email from them now. What do you guys recomend for a CUC?

 

they do run specials from time to time. i think they just had one end on Friday.
