CUC Recommendations

[sapo504]

My 12 G Nano Cube FOWLR is cycled and I wanted to add CUC before adding two ocellaris clowns. Any recommendations on a CUC that will help keep the tank clean and minimize my bioload? I plan on stocking with two clowns and CUC only.
Thanks.

i'd start off small-- maybe 10 blue leg hermits, 3 scarlets, 1 emerald, 6 cerith, 3 astreas, and half a dozen TONGA nassarious snails if you have sand. don't go getting any coral banded shrimp, cleaner shrimp, peppermints, or mexican turbos.

That's what you call small

...they won't have much to eat.

I have the same setup (12g, two Ocels). My CUC is down to 3-4 small blue leg hermits, one giant Nass snail, and 1-2 Bumblebees (the friendly kind).
The substrate is so clean you could perform surgery on it... but honestly, they're pretty boring.

Appreciate the help!
