Alrighty so this weekend my new 55g tank will be up. Next week I'll get the live rock. So after it cycles I'm going to get a full cleanup crew at one time. What and how many should I get? The tank is going to have live corals & also a dwarf lion so no shrimp. Thanks in advance. ***)

well there is a very cool site online that lets you build your own cleaner crew;
once you get to 60$ worth of inverts and some small fish they will ship it to you for free
its called *Link Removed*

Ya and there is also this site who is nice enough to offer these message boards.
I have been very happy with everything I have ordered from SWF.com for my 55. Their rock is very nice and all the inverts and corals I have gotten do very well after a drip aclimation.
I just did this to replenish my tank....it was really low on clean up.
10 Nassarius Snails
25 Turbo/Astrea Snails
3 Emerald Crabs
20 Blueleg Hermits
2 Queen Conchs
I also got a Florida Ricordea coral so you would need something else to get you to the 79$ mark. That should also get you free shipping form SWF.com.

tans123 I know love that site.
Clown52 exactly what I was looking for thanks so much. The lion won't mess with the emerald crab, right? Would it make a difference if I did 2 red footed conchs instead on queens? Thanks

I don't think the conchs would make a difference as long as you just don't get the one thats recomened for no less than 100g.
Not sure about the Lion and the crabs though.....maybe someone with some lion experiance can tell us. :thinking:
