Clean Up Crew

[globaldesigns]

Personally I feel it wouldn't hurt, but after reading your post, I never heard of a clean up crew crashing a tank, unless maybe you had many of them die, polluting the tank.

I think clean up crews are worth it. I have lots of snails, a few crabs, and 7 sand sifting stars.

I had about 100 or so full grown snails, and now I must have hundreds of little babies that come out when the MH turn off, so they are breading. Which is good... I guess the only drawback is that I also get alot of little/empty snail shells, so they are dieing or being eaten. These shells clutter the sand, so once in awhile I use a fish net to scoop the sand and shift it to remove the larger particles and shells. Works well to clean things up.

Crash was completely unrelated ato flooded my tank and house. Should have probably noted that.

A cool, well not really. But I do recommend a crew... too bad you are not in Calgary, I could scoop some of the snail babies in the evenings and give you a few.

Snails that come out after the lights are out are stomatella. Great beneficial snail for your tank when my lights go out can hardly see into my tank.
