Just got a huge clean up crew for my 125 gallon saltwater tank from reef cleaners.
When keeping a saltwater aquarium you have to think about all parts of the mini-ecosystem you are trying to create. Of course, this means planning out your tank size, what equipment you will need, and then deciding what fish and corals you want to keep. But something new aquarist might not think about are the little scavengers and algae munchers you should add to your tank in addition to fish and corals.
This group is often called the clean up crew and these animals keep busy in your tank remove non-living organic matter, sifting through and aerating the sand, and keeping algae under control. Clean up crews consist of a variety of animals and it’s important you have a clean up crew working away in your tank.
Each of these critters has a different function and general roles of snails, crabs, shrimps, sea stars, and urchins in the saltwater aquarium clean up crew. saltwater aquarium care and maintenance videos by rotter tube reef.
