I'm not sure what a vision 260 is? What size tank do you have?

 

[Scotty09]

68 gallon

 

[Scotty09]

My first tank

 

[pat8you]

Ok sounds good. You should take some pictures of the tank. We love pictures here. I really like the skunk cleaner shrimp. They are funny to watch. Let us know if you have any questions and we will do what we can to help.

Here is some got a bit of hair algae any advice

 

[Jason7894561230]

Nice looking tank, but those 2 tangs are going to get 2 big for a 68gal and will need to go into a 125gal eventually.

 

[Scotty09]

I know I wanna upgrade by that time if not I will sell them getting 2 harlequin shrimp next week

 

[uscamaro]

Get a 30 gallon CUC from LiveAquaria.com. I got 1 for my 55 gallon and they cleaned up the hair algae in about a day.

 

[Scotty09]

Cuc what's that can't find it

 

[uscamaro]

Sorry, clean up crew. I got the standard one and I'm so glad I went with the 30gal pack; sometimes I think the 30g pack is too much.

I got a massive clean up crew just slot of hair alge

 

[uscamaro]

You have 1 or bought 1? Did you mean "lots"?

 

[Scotty09]

Yeah I got lots got 6 crabs and bout 10 snails

 

[uscamaro]

What kind and how big? I ask because I think I could've gotten away with a 15-gallon CUC and had the hair algae cleared in about 2 days.

 

[Scotty09]

Hermit crabs all different kinds

 

[Scotty09]

70 gallon too
