Morning all,
I have a 75 gal tank, that has finished its cycle and now I have the diatoms. Looks like my substrate and rock have rusted. Anyway, I have received conflicting opinions on whether or not a cleaning crew would be a good fit for my tank. I only have 13 or so lbs of live rock and a crushed coral substrate, I understand that is not enough for the long run, but I am buying it in small batches, as it seems live rock is near gold on the price per pound scale. Anyway, can I add a small cleaning crew to help rid me of my diatoms? And what would a good starter crew be?
If not what's the most effective way to remove the diatoms?
Also, as a side note, I have received conflicting information on this as well. I eventually(when my tank is good and mature) want to get a blue tang. Will a 75 gal. tank be sufficient for that fish?
