clean up crew for eels and ray?

[pikapp168]

What do you all use as a clean up crew for eels and rays? I have a Zebra Eel, Fimbriated Eel, and a California Sting Ray. They haven't bothered my little blue leg hermits or my red leg hermits. I have a coral banded shrimp...I'm sure he is going to be eel food sooner or later, just like my purple lobster(RIP). The Fimby made a quick snack of him. I thought about just picking up a few sally light foots or emeralds. Something small and quick.

Ive had eels eat sally and emerald crabs before. Not many things seem to pick on brittle stars however, but they are only good for getting uneaten food and wont touch algae.

stars, hermits, and snails all make pretty good clean up crews for the types of animals u have listed

nnot much will survive witht he cali rayas far as a cleanup crew// large conchs and large zebra turbos work well... make sure your running cooler temps with that cali ray as well, since they are a cold water ray

I am trying to get my tank cooler-without having to buy a chiller, any ideas on how to make that happen...My room temp is 75 and yet the tank is still a little warmer...I have cut off the heater and everything. I know if I put a lift on the light that will help in the day, but in general is there anyway to get the water temp a little cooler?

This just a thought, but a fan might help... pointed toward the light or the top of the water.
