Clean up Crew for 90 Gallon Bare Bottom

[dlux5life]

Hi Guys-

I recently moved my tank and went from a DSB to a Bare Bottom tank in the process. The move was a huge success do to lots of planning and some helping hands.

I had to ditch a lot of my clean up crew during the move (most of which was in my DSB that i no longer have). What do you guys feel would be a good CUC for a 90 gallon bare bottom.

Tank Specs:
90 Gallon AGA
110 lbs of LR
Bare Bottom
Super Reef Octo 1000 XP SSS
30 long refugium with Cheato and Culerpa
BRS Lignite Carbon and GFO inside Fluval 300 Canister Filter
48" 8 bulb Tekk T-5

Stock List:
2 black and white clowns
1 Flame Angel
1 Green Mandarin
1 Blue Jaw Trigger
1 Melanurus Wrasse (Has tupperware container of sand hidden under rocks to sleep in at night)

Feed 1 cube of PE Mysis at night / day and occasionally some Rods food in the AM.

I am starting to get a lot of green algea growing on the bottom glass of the tank and am looking for something to keep the glass relatively clean. I do not have any issue with hair algea and phosphates are in check. This is the normal stuff you scrap with your mag float, but cannot get the bottom portion of the glass. I also does Kalk with my RKL and a TOM's pump.

Thank you,

personally, on my barebottom, i use lots of turbo snails and they keep the glass and other surfaces very clean... and for liverock, i use emerald crabs and the larger red legged hermits (not the tiny ones)... granted i dont have LR in my display, but i still utilize it in my system, in a lit "fuge"...

those are my 3 suggestions...

I would recommend just going to Reefcleaners.org (if I cant post non-sponser links my apologies). He has a huge fan base over at nano reef and he will custom make you a clean-up crew. He collects off of florida so he gets some real unusual stuff and always gives more than ordered. Just hit him up with this info and he will get back to you in a couple days.

The problem with some "reefcleaner"sites is they suggest much more than you really need.

I second the reefcleaners suggestion. John is awesome to work with and his prices are the best.

Honestly I understand the apprehension about some of these sites, but John at reefcleaners is awesome. Go search for him on nano-reef if youd like he posts often and has alot of feedback. People actually complained that he gave too many extras for free....don't see that very often in this industry.

I have heard and seen the nassurus and hermits they sell are extremely small... to the point, where it is pointless to even bother spending the money...
