just check out reef cleaner packages they offer at this site, or many other similar sites...
It will list what they suggest for the different size packages... they sell like a small, 30g package, medium 70g package... etc... and it differs at the different sites.

Good advice FishGuy!. At what point would you reccomend that he add them? How soon after cycling the tank?

i'm still a newbie myself... however I added mine as soon as ammonia hit 0 -- and was sure it was going to stay at 0, and I didn't even acclimate the hermit crabs, Turbo Snails or Nassarius snails...
oh yeah - trItes should be at 0 as well.

both snails, get bunchs... they are awesome, the hermits... make sure you have extra shells becuz they WILL kill the snails for their shells, ive lost 2 out of 3 due ot one hermit wanting different shells
