80 gallon tank, 1 yellow tang, 2 maroon clowns, 2 orange clowns (not sure common name), 2 striped damsels, 2 sgt majors, 1 domino damsel, 1 yellow tailed blue damsel, 2 snails, 1 crab. Fluval 404, 1 powerhead. Mixture of live sand and crushed coral.
The following package is listed at SWF:
1 Coral Banded Shrimp
3 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Sally Lightfoot
2 Feather Dusters
30 Scarlet Reef Hermits
2 cucumbers
25 Turbo Snails
4 Emerald Crabs
1 Flame Scallop
Would this be a good package to get? Tell me your thoughts about the feather dusters, the sally lightfoot, the cumcumbers, and scallop and the differences in the shrimps. I like the variety, but am not sure if my tank can handle all this. Thanks!

Oops, I should have read more at SWF info pages. Most of the variety in this package is either reef only or sand only. What part of a crew can I get for my tank?
 
do you have any LR in your tank? because if you dont, getting shrimps is not a good idea if they dont have a place to hide, plus, i would reccomend gettin a Clean up crew smaller then your tank, they tend to sell way to many crabs (i think they just want to sell them, but hey they are a bussiness who can blame them) i bought a clean up crew from SWF.com and am completly satisfied

Marty,
What part of Dallas are you in? I'm in a Marine Aquarium Society for us reefers in D/FW....email me (below) and I'll let ya know about it! We have some really cool monthly meetings. Also, I have some bags of Southdown for sale too....if ya need it, you can just pick it up instead of paying shipping too!
I split that same package with someone in the area....great things to say about it! Only DOA was a pygmy cucumber (it was subbed for the "regular" cuke) I love the arrow and the sally....they're my favorite inverts....and everything gets along too. About having too many crabs....I would think 30 scarlets is fine for your tank - the scarlets I got from here were TINY compared to my LFS.
Email me!
:cool:
