CUC Must haves

[firefightremtp]

Okay, so I have had tank set up for about 3.5 months and I have had an eel in it for the past month or so... the eel is leaving on wednesday and I am getting a big CUC b.c my tank has a good amount of brown algae.
Question is, for a 55g, what are must haves for a CUC? and how many of each? Thanks!!!
