Poll: What's Does Your Clean-up Crew Consist Of??

[Krish]

New poll time. Some people use clean-up crews and some don't as they feel what they eat, they poop out so what's the point. Let's see what people are using for their clean-up crew as well as those who don't use anything. This poll will allow multi votes.

 

[Krish]

I voted "None". My last 3 tanks didn't have any clean-up crews. I did have a coral bandit shrimp, but he wasn't added in there to clean up any mess. He was just there to have a shrimp and I like how they look. I relied on good filtration and good husbandry to "clean-up" my tanks.

I have turbo's,nassarius snails and a but load of asterinas (which my harlequin is taking care of). I like hermits but they kept hunting down snails and killing them.

I have cleaner shrimp and white sand sifting starfish..I was able to keep snails in my tank with no problem UNTIL I added a PT Trigger; now all my snails are gone, but tank is still algae free thanks to the yellow eye and naso tangs.

I use serpent stars in my reef tanks and nothing in my seahorse tanks. I have NO snails or hermits or anything like that in any tanks.

 

[Krish]

Welcome "chickenofthesea"! :welcome:. That is what we use to call one of our rival primary schools at our track meets seeing their real name was Mary Star of the Sea. I won't say what they called us :shock: :lol:

 

[MGDMIRAGE]

Nassarius, Turbos, and my Fighting Conch are my favorites of my cleanup crew. The conch has been the best improvement to my sandbed out of all my snails.
