Who Gives A Fish Forums

Hi there,

I'm currently in cycle mode, about 30+ days out, and I'm thinking of running a FOWLER-style tank setup - hopefully that's the right term for it.

I'm keen on getting some type of clowns, but I'm not sure what would make a good clean up crew. Should I get the crew first or the fish? Are there any fish that work well with clowns, by the way?

My tank setup is a 24-gallon Cube with a 7-gallon sump, featuring live sand and live rock.

For my cleanup crew, I'd recommend blue-legged hermit crabs and a variety of snails - maybe margarita or nassarius snails would be a good fit.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into those hermit crabs and snails, sounds like a good starting point for my clean up crew.
