cleaner crew?
i set-up a fowlr tank about 2 months ago. i talked to my lfs and they told me i would be able to add fish the same day as i sat it up. (so you cantell they dont really know too much.) anyways it is a 55 gal tank with an amiracle sump setup which is about 10 gal. i am looking to get a good cleanup crew to help maintain it properly. the livestock which was added after a quick chemical cycle, amonia, nitrate, nitride, was as follows
1- scooter blenny 1- snowflake eel 1- velvet damsel 2 blue damsels 2- firefish 2 arrow crabs 1- banded corral shrimp and 2- purple tipped anenemones i am not shure if there is too much load or can i add more to it? it does have a skimmer too |

I think that's too many animals as is. I would watch the arrow crabs, since they can be very predatory. Some snails might help keep the microalgae under control. My favorites are Trochus and Stomatella. I might start with 4 of each.
