How many of which animals should I get for my 75 gal.?
I was thinking of this:
5 Cerith snails
5 Nassarius snails
100 Turbo/Astrea snails
100 Blue legged hermits
1 Lettuce Nudi
5 Sand sifting crabs
All for around $130 here at SWF.com!!
Think this will do the trick?
Thanks,
Dave

Thats way too much! You are going to need a second wave to clean up the corpses of the first clean up crew after they all starve.
A good start would be 25 hermits and 25 snails. Get a mix and see what works best in your tank. Add more as necesarry.

I agree. I would drop about 20 snails, 20 blue legs, 5 emeralds, 2 sand sifting stars (depending on your bed), and 1 serpent star in your tank for a good cleanup crew. HTH
