Cuc Coming This Weekend, And Maybe Some Zoas?
Hey all and good morning!
So this weekend I am going to head down to the LFS and acquire me CUC. Now the question I have is, what should I get? The fella in the shop suggested a couple of snails and a small star? I have a fair bit of algae on the glass and a little on the sand but not much on the sand.
Also, considering getting some zoas, yay or nay? How hardy are they and what are their requirements?
Now, levels: I plan to run only fish, inverts, and hard and soft corals - no anemones. What should the levels be? And any supplementation that I should be considering at this stage?
I'm looking at running the CUC for at least two weeks before even looking at getting fish.
Oh and I have a pistol shrimp... It was only on this Sunday just gone that I removed a mantis shrimp. And now I'm still hearing the faint clicking (faint compared to the mantis shrimp!!) and I saw its claw this morning. It's only small. I'd be inclined to say that it's claw is only as bit as about 7mm long. Tiny compared to the mantis shrimp. Any problems there? I've read they can be OKAY but I just want to be certain.
Thanks all and have a great week!
And thanks so much for the help thus far!
