Clean up Crew

[Imbarrie]

I think I have a minimal CUC for my 75 gallon tank.
Based on what I have been reading online I should have 4 times the CUC I have.

What do you think?

I have bought many snails but they would get eaten by a polyclad flatworm that I recently removed from my tank.
What is left over is maybe half a dozen margaritas and maybe a dozen nassarius snails in the entire system. I also have a handful of stromatellas and countless spaghetti worms.
I dont have any nuisance algae and all my parameters are optimal. Coral growth is great, LPS SPS and starting into Acro. I feed twice a day; pellets in the afternoon and frozen mysis cubes with twice a week cyclopeez.
Tank is a mixed reef with a 10 gallon fuge with;
Yellow tang
2 clownfish
Antenata lionfish
Black ribbon eel
Yellow watchman goby
Algae blennie
2 Clown gobies

'Based on what I have been reading online I should have 4 times the CUC I have.'
Well, if you mean what you read from those that sell them of course you don't have enough and never will.
so let's evaluate what you need. You have no nuisance algae which means you don't need any more algae eating critters. So the few you have are just fine plus the Algae blennie are keeping things very clean. As far as detritus you have a dozen nassarius snails to take care of that.
So what I think is you have a set up that most of us envy.

Well it does take quite a bit of work to remain at this point.

I probably just have a balanced system at this point. Just wondering if the extent of my CUC was on par with what others have.
