What to buy?

[salisbury a d]

I have $100.
What should I get?:
A clean up crew or more lr?
Currntly I have a little less thatn 30 lr and my tank is 46 gallons.
For a clean up crew I only have 5 blue leg hermits, a goby for sand cleaning and a chocolate star.
What should I buy?

I've heard that Chocolate star eats corals, snails, etc. I have one in my tank now, and plan to get rid of it when Im ready for my clean-up crew. Later

Hey,
You will want more lr for sure, but you may want to get some snails for algae control. As far as the lr goes, try and add cured pieces a few at a time to prevent another cycle. I also noticed in your set up that you have 30lbs of ls. If you're going for a dsb you'll want to bring that up to about 4" deep and it would be easier to do that now before building your lr up.
Lots of choices, but go slow!

Definitely more live rock. I too have heard that Chocolate Chip's will eat the coraline algae and such. I would probably get a brittle star instead of the CC. Live rock is also more expensive usually so get that out of the way and you can add more snails and such over time.

Its a matter of taste, if your nitrates are in check then LR is not necessary.
I would save it for purchasing some nice corals.

I made a deal with my parents and I will be getting live rock and a cleanup crew.
Burn. I would rather get lr than corals right now. Most corals need more intense light right. I have no more room at the top of my lr so I need more lr space.
Sorry if it doesn't make sense.
Damn cat just braught me a mother gold finch.
