Fuge livestock???

[frankthetank]

I got my fuge started up over the weekend. It's running great! My fuge area is 8"x10" with a 2-3 inch deep sand bed, 1 pound of live rock rubble, and some caulerpa & cheato.
What and how many livestock would you put in the fuge/sump? It's an 18g sump with 12" tall baffles.
I figured a half a dozen turbos, maybe a couple hermits, do I need any sand stirrers? Like a sand sifting crab, or a few nassarius snails?
I threw a emerald crab down there because he was hitch hiking from the trip to the LFS.
What would you put down there to keep things a little clean?

no live stock at all in mine, just chaeto sand and rock. if i were you i would put at least 4" of sand or no sand at all..

I dont think you will need that many turbo snails. I think nassarius would be better anyway because they dig under the surface of the sand and would stir up any detritis. I need to add more to my fuge. I plan on adding a fighting or queen conch.
The hermits will eventually kill the snails for their shells. I would skip them too.
Also, I would stay away from caluerpa. I used to have it in mine. It puts out roots and can be a pain to get rid of fully. Cheato is the best.
I have about a 3.5" sand bed and about 3 lbs of rubble rock.
Sounds like you have a great plan for it though.
