cleanup crew ?

[mande51334]

have a 55 gal. with about 55lbs. LR and 3.5" LS where 2 false percs. and 2 blue damsels call home, i also have i astrea snail and 4-5 crabs. want to get a bunch of scarlet hermits, nass. snails, and more astrea snails but unsure on how many to go with. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!:notsure:

 

[silentshaw]

one asteala snail per gallon and 20-30 hermits, should keep the tank clean. what type of craps do you have? becouse of them you may not need as many hermits.

 

[mande51334]

so i'm gonna need about 50-60 astrea snails? wow!!

 

[mande51334]

on this site it says 1 astrea snail for every 2 gallons. so here's what i'm thinkin. tell me anything different you guys (and girls) would do.
20-25 astrea snails
20 nass. snails
20-30 scarlet hermits
maybe a couple fighting conch??????????????????????????
how's that sound?

 

[belothsurf]

sounds good, you could do with 10 less on the snails, (astrea and Nass's), maybe 10 scarlet hermits, and 1 or 2 fighting conchs.....that's plenty.....:happyfish

 

[mande51334]

so.........
15 astrea snails
10 nass. snails
and 10 scarlet hermits?
will that be a big enough crew?
