    for anyone that has a nano tank, what do you keep as a CUC? what would you like to have at prime conditions? TIA

    well obviously keep nitrates and all parameters under control. as for a CUC maybe a few snails and hermits? only problem is that hermits may kill snails.

    When I had my 25 gallon tank up, I had like 15 nerites 5 nassiurus 5 ceriths, and like 30 dwarf ceriths and 2 hermits (I like hermits ). I got this crew from reefcleaners, and it did a spectacular job

    +1 to the above. ReefCleaners are the way to go. Their custom CUC's seem to be well thought out by Jon. I sent in a form just to see how good the feedback would be; I'll end up buying that exact CUC when the time is right.
