Choosing Your CLEAN-UP Crew, Cleaner Shrimp, Naussaurius Snails, Hermit Crabs - Newbie Tank Build

In this episode of our Newbie Tank Build series, we add the clean-up crew to Jimmy's tank! Join us as we share what a clean-up crew is, what they eat, which critters we recommend, and which CUC myths we can put to rest. Jimmy will also unbox his clean-up crew and show you which critters we chose for his tank!

Jacques is classic for cleaners I had one named that in my last tank

[@Reefingaddiction]

Another good one Mark and Jimmy.

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

I been loving this series, I got a fragbox reef Casa 12g tank I’m kinda doing along the same time as Jimmy 😂🥰 I have half dozen corals and some hermit crabs and nassarius snails, but not fish yet, partly coz I’m so limited for space I’m gonna specifically get just the fish I want (yellow clown goby and maybe a pipefish)

[@Kenny_Edmonton]

How long has Jimmy’s tank been up and running before he added cleanup crew. I added two snails, and two hermit crabs to my 50 gallon. I don’t have much algae so my lfs said don’t add cleaner shrimp yet, that good advice

[@karennation3580]

I only have 2 snails in my tank. A trocus and a conch! I vacuum my sand every 2 weeks. Are the necessary? I have blennys in each tank too!

[@PokemonCardologist]

Just letting you know, if you want a long living snail, get a conch. I have a conch living for the past 2 years!

Do cleaner shrimp need to be fed ? Or the clean up crew in general

[@shanks2872]

I always wanted to have a tank with the fish from finding nemo but the problem is half of them I cant keep most of them. Puffer is to big and aggressive, Moorish idol is impossible to keep, good luck finding a flapjack octopus and seahorses need a separate tank.

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

I got 5 nassarius, and 5 hermits in my 12g tank, the nassarius are cool coz they come out when fed, but the hermits are cool coz they’re always out and about. I also got some copepods. Tank is about 1 and a half months old and doing well, still got some algae and diatoms but tank feels like it’s settling in, I do have half a dozen corals for a few different places that have been dipped, all corals are doing well except 1, not sure why, but being an alveopora it might just be the tank isn’t quite stable enough or have the maturity for that coral just yet 🍻

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

I WILL get a cleaner shrimp one day, but they are expensive here in australia 😔

[@Mdenn53]

So do you not have to quarantine the clean up crew?

[@lisathewhitewolf]

I have heard of emeralds eating corals (usually larger males, if memory serves)...and maybe the harlequins should be reworded as ONLY eats starfish? Otherwise, very happy with this, as usual.

[@xanderjones2747]

Coral hype!

[@DavidStep-n4l]

When you say 75 gallon tank do you mean us gallon or imperial gallon thanks

[@mrsweetdreams34]

I know you've got a nice big tank, but isn't a CuC this big in a tank that's age wise just a baby to much ? There is almost nothing they can feed on yet. Like the series btw, and your enthousiasm.

[@TonysCorals]

looks like his tank has algae. They will be fine.

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Can feed the cuc and the tank now while feeding the fish 😉 he should have food for the cuc anyway for after the tank has been “cleaned up” anyway 👊🥰

Products look NOTHING like items being displayed. Bait and switch from these guys. They subbed my only item for one of lesser value and didn't offer to replace just a 50% refund to keep lesser product. ONLY took the refund to get SOMETHING out of the order.....
