I would, but there's no light on the tank so it kinda stinks. Lol

So when it comes time to get a CUC.. do u guys think I should go in the LFS direction or buy a package from reefs2go or some other site?
Anyone have any experience with ordering CUCs online?
I went the lfs route. For my 90g I got 6 Trochus Snails, 4 Bumblebee Snails, 4 Conchs, 2 Emerald Crabs, and 3 Peppermint Shrimp. Also got a Blood Shrimp because my wife likes them. Just added 2 more Emeralds. Tank always looks pristine.
I'd just get a few snails (no turbos) and hermits at the LFS for now. I always worry about shipping in the middle of winter. Even a very few cleaners should be fine for a while. I'd also add a snail and hermit to the sump.
I've never had that happen but you could always just stick with one or a pair of hermits. They'll just crawl around the bottom and eat algae and leftover food that gets sucked down. Snails generally avoid pumps just like they avoid powerheads in a display but safety first. Hermits can't escape! Mouahaha

Order less then you need, john sends a ton extra. I ordered a 10 gallon pack for my old 30 and had so much that I still.gave some away lol
So I went out yesterday, picked up 3 more chromis just for the hell of it. Lost yet another one this morning(however I think it was one I bought from the previous day, not the new batch).
So now there's 4 chromis in the tank and they're schooling and enjoying a dark tank
I had 11 now i have 8 every couple weeks one disappears on me
Lol I think I'm just goin to hang on to the 4 for now. See how things pan out. Hopefully I don't lose anymore
Same thing happened in my last tank as well not sure why had 6 was down to 2 in few months lol waters good i keep tangs easily and many inverts including starfish with no issues and sensitive acros something about chromises lol
I had 5 green chromis in my tank and all died within a week. No clue as to why - corals tang clown inverts all fine as well. I'm thinking about a school of something too, but mines only a 55.
Maybe that's why they're so cheap.. bc they die to easily lol
I was told by one of the more knowledgeable workers at my LFS that over time chromis will pick off the weakest in the school and eventually you will end up with 2 or 3 no matter how many you start with. I'm guessing if the tank is big enough you could keep more. I can't explain why you lost all of them though.
