Ep. 4 Adding My TOP 3 MUST-HAVE Clean Up Crew (CUC) | Blue Reef Tank

In this video, I am going to be adding my top 3 must-have Clean Up Crew (CUC) in the Waterbox Cube 20 Aquarium. They each have a different role to play in the tank such as:
- Cleaning the sand
- Cleaning the rock and glass
- Eating leftover foods
They are very hardy and really good at keeping the tank clean. Just make sure to acclimate them very slowly (2-3 hours minimum) because invertebrates are very sensitive to changes in water parameters.
I hope you enjoy the content and don't forget to subscribe to my channel :)

Aha! Now i see the lid, thanks for answering anyway! Sad to hear about your Gramma, also RIP Peanut :(

@BlueReefTank 3 жыл бұрын

The gramma is fine now 😊 He gets along fine with everyone. Thanks mate. Peanut is one of my most fav. It's so sad to lose her

Loving the tank I've got the same. Would be cool with a blood fire shrimp orchard dotty back and two clown's like a black ice snow flake with a mocha maybe

@BlueReefTank 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! - I love it too but I might change the aquascape a little 😁 The blood fire shrimp is a really good idea actually. I just need to save up money for that 😆 They are so expensive here in Australia. Is orchard dottyback aggresive? I had the royal dottyback before and he's an a** hahaha I was also thinking about designer clowns! The only thing I am afraid of is them bullying my yellow clown goby 😅 That's the reason why I moved him to the Waterbox

@stevecole2216 3 жыл бұрын

@@BlueReefTank I'm lucky here in the uk there only £30 ish and im not too sure about the dotty. But would be cool. And I think if you get the clowns when there young (really small ) they should behave themselves

@BlueReefTank 3 жыл бұрын

Oh wow! That's so cheap. It costs at least $200 in here for a shrimp. I heard orchard dottyback is less aggressive but can still bully others so I might have to skip it 😅 I am actually saving up for the storm clowns, they also cost an arm and a leg here. This is an expensive hobby

Great video man!!! I have the exact same cube 20 but with the intank back chamber setup as you. But recently I noticed my water level rising where the filter floss/sock goes so I would change it with a new one thinking it was dirty only to have the water rise again in a couple hours. For the life of me I can’t figure out why. I even removed the middle plate where you put carbon and whatnot and it is doing the same thing. Did you ever have this issue?

@BlueReefTank 3 жыл бұрын

You can try to reduce the amount of water in the tank or use a stronger pump so it pumps out more water from the back chamber :) Let me know how you go.

I got them from my LFS here in Melbourne :)

@paulshockley8632 3 жыл бұрын

Not sure if you would do another pair of clowns? All kinds out there! Maybe a small wrasse of some kind? Pj cardinal? Yellow watchmen goby? What about a fire shrimp?! Since you have a cleaner shrimp in your other tank!

@BlueReefTank 3 жыл бұрын

There are so many choices out there 😂 I really want something unique and has a lot of personalities 🤔 Not too aggresive and maybe rare as well? 🤔

@paulshockley8632 3 жыл бұрын

@@BlueReefTank I think pink streaked wrasse are kinda hard to come by? Just don’t know if it gets along with the gramma😅 What fish did you have in mind? Maybe I can help ya decide😅

@BlueReefTank 3 жыл бұрын

That pink streak wrasse is pretty cool actually. Almost looks like six line wrasse. Is it aggressive? I was thinking something like a midas blenny. Not sure if it would be okay in the cube 20 🤔

@paulshockley8632 3 жыл бұрын

@@BlueReefTank hey! Nope pink streaked wrasse is super friendly and they are small! They would be great in a 20 cube! But I currently have 4 fish now so I don’t think I can add anymore😅 Midas blenny is also another nice option😊

@BlueReefTank 3 жыл бұрын

I will check around my LFS and see if I can find any! They look really cool. I will probably have to wait for a bit before I can add another fish. Don't want to add too much all at once 😅

What sort of tank you going for?

@BlueReefTank 3 жыл бұрын

I am still not 100% sure what I want to go for 😅 But it's definitely going to be reef tank full of colourful corals

@DadHD 3 жыл бұрын

I’m currently going soft and lps. I love the movement in the tank and going for a small bio load with fish so coral movement will hopefully take up some of the slack!

@BlueReefTank 3 жыл бұрын

I think I will eventually go that route as well! Maybe softies, lps and one or two sps max 🙂
