Some advice please guys.
The info on your forum has been so helpful, the bio filtration in the canister and sump has crushed the cycling in under three weeks, so time to get any advice you can give on the types of critters for the clean up crew.
What to get and where to get it.

Very Happy

Here are some clean up crew dude, most marine LFS will have or can get these.
A few turbo snails a couple of strombs,two lawnmower blennies would suit your size, five or six small hermits and as many peps as you can get.
If you have fine sand get a gobie,yellow heads are cool for sand filtering.
Whats your tank dude?

Thanks dazza,
Just cycled the second nano, including sumps both are 120litre each,the first has cichlids they are awesome, one year and so happy with it.
This one is to be a reef aquarium.
The nano is a 15inch cube,I decided to go with a classic fluval 300L rs skimmer and a fluval 205 canister filter with the advice seen here, we made proper pre filter media socks to keep it clean, that is all over this forum so we did it.
Pop made the cascaded water compartment into two layers of deep sand bed, we found a pic on here he said was funny and mostly, he copied it.
My pop works with glass and made both tanks-sumps for me in a large part from what is to be found on this forum and from his and mates experience two industries.
He understands the relevance of cascaded waters mentioned on here from his mates in BOC,I don t get the gas thing, he does?
Once the live rock is finished this beneficial algae part of filtering is going to be factored in, that’s pops job, again.
cheers

Been watching guys and want to just say that the peps, lawn mowers and little yellow claws will take care of your tank, the snails are useless, and nothing will keep the glass clean, just use a magnetic cleaner for it. Smile

Ive been watching as well and my opinion is the peps and lawnmower blennys are the best for clean up crew
Sounds like your pop is a talented person you are very fortunate to have him bounce

This is all good advice guys, the collection of all clean up crew can be found in our information thread with a sticky in the collecting section of the forum, just look through it, these things are in there.
