Cleaning crew - Help needed

[nemain]

I recently added another 20 astral snails to my cleaning crew ( already had 4 snails, cleaner shrimp, 4 pepermint shrimp, 20 hermits, an emerald crab, a dragon gobbie, and a red starfish)

My problem: I HAVE NO ALGAE! I have never in my life seen a tank this clean. A strange thing to be concerned about, but sheesh, what can I feed these guys? I dont have a refugium as of yet, slowely working on putting in an ecosytem filter/sump. Should I plant some algae in there and hope for the best?

Thanks in advance,

Beth

I bought some whitefish (pre-cooked) from the grocery and chopped it up very fine and put about one teaspoon in every other day. The hermits and the shrimp loved it, the starfish may as well. Just watch how much, you can make your tank toxic if you do not watch the amount you use. very
