    haha i have to constantly flip some of my big shelled inverts over *again not sure which ones they are* but it's like they fall off the glass and landed on their back, i'm also having to flip over the blue legged hermits, it will be interesting what they do once coral gets in. I was wanting to get my first frag this weekend but the GHA is just to bad right now so i'm hoping the CUC will eat away at most of my algae pretty soon, i'm almost thinking i will be needing more because of all the GHA

    If you got everything John recommended, you might want to wait a week or so to see if you need more. I had some junk on my overflow that I thought would take forever for them to clean...it is almost completely gone and I have only had my CUC for about 2 weeks.

    yea i did express shipping as well it was worth it. And i'm glad its pretty normal that the majority of them come out at night. It was really cool when they first started moving around, the blue legged hermits even climbed up on the glass to get some of the algae that was on the bottom part of the glass

    yea this was everything he suggested plus my urchin. I'm glad to hear that they are fast cleaners, i was surprised that the section they cleaned last night is now spotless, it was a pretty decent sized area too

    I was hesitant to get the "full order" and cut some things in half. I will be ordering the rest in a couple of weeks! Did you get any of the Fuzzy Chitons? They are my favorite. Several people who have seen them in my tank are going to order from him just to get some of them.

    Just recently filled out the app. for a CUC there and had a question. If I had to move my tank or upgrade to a bigger one how would I got about moviing those? Just take my fish out and then live rock and just dump everything (including substrate and water) into buckets and they will survive or do I lose everything if I try and move?

    Thanks.
