Is it ok to add some marine cleaner like sea cucumber for the sand bed due to the debris from the uncured live rocks and some snails to maintain the 'cleaniness' of the tank, during the cycling period?

thanks.

no dun risk LS during cycling, especially cucumbers. :pinch:

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

i found that the LR bought are uncured making the water smelly. I bought the carbon and scraped off dead organism on the rock,freshwater dip, and put them back to the tank hopping to get it cured and cyclying the same time. Thought sea cucumber can help to clean the mess from the debris on the sand bed. :P

i agree with bro law, wouldn't risk any LS.. a sea cucumber is enough to crash your tank.. :) risky..

ok what about turbo snails? :) in fact i have 3 small hardy fishes in the tank and have been there quite a while and seems to survive :)
