SWF In the Mix Reef Pack ?

[hawkfish203]

Was thinking of getting that SWF reef cleaning pack but, was thinking that my blueface might go after the lettuce nudi that came with it. What ya think???

I think you should skip that pack....the lettuce nudi lives mostly off of bryopsis, and will most likely starve to death
also most reef packs IMO come with too many hermits

So would you suggest making your own? Or is there one that is better IYO?

+1

And what would you put in it?

 

[btldreef]

What size tank and what are the inhabitants?

 

[hawkfish203]

125 gallon. Blueface, eyeline tang, bluethroat trigger, clown, 1 very large purple tip anemone and a snowflake eel.

I'm going to assume the snowflake behaves itself with hermits and snails and just bothers shrimp so correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd do something along the lines of 15-20 of each: Nassarius, Cerith and Trochus snails, of course you wouldn't have to add all at once. I hate hermits and don't ever recommend them, but you certainly could trim the number of snails and add hermits if you'd like.

He's good for the most part. He did eat a mexican turbo snail. Don't think I should be more worried about the blueface?
