CUC

So I've seen some debate/discussion on how many/much Clean up crew you need. (for those new to the hobby CUC = Clean up Crew = stars, snails, crabs, etc.)

Is there a general rule that you guys go by? Is there a "bare minimum" you think a tank should have? I personally have a Fish only, but this can be other tanks as well if you so desire!

my cuc is very small. but my sand bed has stuff growing all over it and the algea creates a lot of pods for my fish so i dont mind it at all. any way some tanks need more of a cuc some need less. it all depends on your tank.

I have a 65 g, with about 60 lbs of Live Rock. It contains:

Clown, Hoevan's Wrasse, Bengal Cardinal, Flame Angel, Starry, Blenny.

I presently only have 2 turbo snails... I know I need more, but I don't want to overdo it.... also I'm interested in how everyone else does their CUC, so how many and what do you have trigger?
