CLEAN-UP CREW

In the realm of aquarium maintenance, the importance of a clean up crew cannot be overstated. Clean up crews are essential for maintaining the ecological balance within both Fish Only With Live Rock (FOWLR) aquariums and reef aquariums. These specialized groups of organisms, which typically include various species of snails, starfish, crabs, and shrimp, play a critical role in the overall health of the aquarium environment.

For FOWLR aquariums, clean up crews assist in the removal of uneaten food, detritus, and algae, thereby preventing the buildup of harmful substances that could compromise water quality. Research indicates that a well-maintained clean up crew can reduce the need for frequent water changes by up to 30%, thus promoting a more stable environment for fish.

In reef aquariums, the role of clean up crews is equally vital. These organisms not only help in cleaning the substrate and rock surfaces but also contribute to the health of the corals by controlling algae growth. Studies have shown that the presence of a diverse clean up crew can enhance coral health and resilience, leading to improved growth rates and coloration.

GHI Corals offers expertly curated clean up crew bundles tailored specifically for both FOWLR and reef aquariums. At a $60.00 USD minimum order, these bundles are designed to provide a balanced mix of species that work together to maintain a clean and healthy aquarium environment.
