Can you Shock the system...

Ok well i got a 46gal aquarium thats bout 5 months old. it has a decent size clean up crew, 50lbs lr, 40lbs of sand, 2 percs, 1 ruby head fairy wrasse, 1 emerald crab, sum hermits and sum turbo snails and 2 nassarius snails and my corals...ok well i wanna make a order offline and i want to finish up the clean up crew and get a mccoskers...my question is...i dont qt cuc(my choice) could you shock the system if i introduced like cerith snails, more nassarius snails, more turbos and more blue legged hermit crabs and nerite snails...o and a brittle star...now with that dramatic increase in livestock mess up the water chemistry and give me a ticking time bomb?

 

na you should be fine my cuc went in all in the same shot and my cuc is beefy

 

CUC won't really add much waste to the tank, so it's okay. Now get that fish!!

 

CUC are lower bio mass, the fish are what add heavily to the bio load.

 

i never really equate cuc into bio load.
