Or maybe you can just add about a dozen maxican turbos. They are diatom eradicating machine :P Atleast the diatoms will be taken care of in a matter of days.

Hermits are evil Zebra ones are great but they are expensive!

P.S. Turbos can get really big and can ramp down rocks and frags unless they are placed properly with glue/putty/center of gravity

What you will find is few different approach for a cleanup crew.everyone is right.
I will tell you from my experience.
I have tried all types of snails and crabs and yes they do a great cleanup,but as your tank starts to mature you will lose few of them and eventually will require to keep on buying more.
For my setup and I think you seen it.

A good Rodi water continuously scheduled water changes,good skimming,and ample amount of HCGFO with carbon does the trick in my system without a spec of algae,ton of water movement and my sump is full of live rock.hope that helps.

Before you go adding a cleanup crew you'll want to make sure your nitrates, nitrites and ammonia are all at zero for a minimum of one week.

Elias is right; as your algae diminish your cleanup crew will have less to feed on and start to die off. Get some GFO going and when you're ready for some Cheato ask in this forum. People are always looking to get rid of it. As a matter of fact I'm ready to get rid of some of mine. Also a remote sand bed in your sump will also be a good idea. It was Denny that put me onto that

Good luck and have fun with your tank.

With the cheato I can just throw it in my sump with a light on right or can I put it in the main display?

What are you running in your phosban reactor? If its phosban from TLF, then it is a form of GFO, so you're good.

In sump with a light for the cheato. Just make sure that it is relatively contained so that it dosn't make it's way to your return pump or feed pumps.
