So I went BB on my new 20g and I’m looking for recommendation on CUC members. It’s a drop off tank so I’m going to try to put some hermits up top and some down below. I may eventually try and bridge the two areas so they can go from top to bottom and back again.
Bare bottom CUC
- Thread starter hiimsean
- Start date
Really almost anything except things that like to burry like nassarius or fighting conchs. I vaccuum all my sand beds in my salt tanks and in two year tops, I usually am almost completely barebottom in my systems when I put sand in. I have hermits (both red and blue) they seem about the same although I bet they will all end up in the bottom of yours..No fear of heights. 
I stay away from snails that need me to flip them over. And since your system is new, start with a few of each and then add more as you have more algea to feed them. (in my 20 long I have probebly 5 snails and 7 hermits) Once my tanks reach a year I always add a pincussion urchin. The BEST in my opinion in keeping a very tidy tank... as long as you dont mind them eating your coraline too. This is just my opinion...
