cleanup crew

[balashark21]

i am gettting a cleanup crew for my tank as soon as the cycle finnishes. this is what i plan for my crew:20 scarlets, 10 turbo astrea's, a purp lobster and a fighting conch. i have a 30 gallon tank and it will have 2 false percs, a yellow head jawfish and a longnose hawk(add last) i have a cave for the lobster all ready to go.

Becareful adding them, if you add them all at once. Might not initially have enough food for them all.

so should i do fish first? or what?

I would add a tuxedo urchin to your crew, they do a pretty superb job of cleaning up algae when it comes. You can drop a few sinking shrimp pellets to give them food till the tank becomes more established so that your crew does not starve.

add the cleanup first then fish.
