Seriously, it looks awsome in person, im amazed and very lucky for how well everything is coming along, its been running for 13 days and looks great in my opinion. but now im going to need some movement in there any recomendations for fish? i really need something to eat algae, i have it all, brown fuzzy kind a little bit of green hair algae and some brown scum stuff, aswell as that purple bubble algae stuff, so any sugestions for fish snails hermits or shrimp would be nice

A MANTIS SHRIMP WOULD BE AWESOME IN THAT TANK!!!!!

Astrea's and blue leg hermits...tank is too small for any algae eating fish although most blennies eat some algae.

We get our cheap stuff from Asia!

In a 8g tank I would do one turbo, three astrea, and maybe five blue legs?

Expect a couple to die off before you reach your perfect carrying capacity.

Might want to ditch the turbo altogether as they get a little large and can apparently be destructive in small tanks like yours.
