I have a sump with a fuge approximately 15. with a three inch sand bed, a big handfull of live rock rubble. and Chaeto the size of a melon. currently i have 2 hermit crabs (actually had 4 hermits and 4 snails but they we're killed).

my fuge doesnt look that clean. what other critters would be perfect to put in there?

thanx

I have a sand sifting gobie in one of mine. keeps the sand bed clean. If you feel the fuge is getting dirty you might consider increasing the flow in the fuge with a small power head.

i used to run a via aqua 130gph powerhead in my fuge. the sump what a 55 with about 60% of it as the fuge. i was running a mag12 upgraded to a mag18. the 18 is throttled back some. but the extra flow you can tell. i have three different types of macro and they seem to love it.
