30g cleanup crew help

[shiby1510]

Once my tank cycles what would be a good cleanup crew for me to purchase for my 30g tank

Scarlet Hermit Crab:10
Blueleg Hermit Crab:10
Turbo/Astrea Snail:20
Nasssarius Snail:5
Emerald Crab:3
i took out the star and shrimp
but that is what this site has for a 20-55 gallon tank crew

i dont think Id include the Nassarius snails until your tank is a little more established though.

okie dokie thank you...
do i also need to get shells for hermits?? :notsure:
would an urchin or even a conch also be alright to add after the cycle along with the cleanup crew?
in addition when would it be time for a shrimp and what kind (s) ?

Im not sure about a conch they can get huge. I would stick with the snails and shrimp.

I would get a skunk cleaner shrimp, a week or so after the hermits. They are really fun to watch, ours will clean your hand if you put it in the water :cheer: They are also good in pairs, unlike some other shrimp. They will also leave a lot of your other reef critters alone :joy:

Handfull of snails, handfull of crabs, a couple shrimps........your tank will find it's own equilibrium point.
