gettin close and thinking about clean up crew

[shinobi9119]

My tank is quite close to being done, its just a matter of getting a little more money. I am beginning to think about the clean up crew for my 75. It will be a reef.
im thinking
nassarius snails
scarlet hermits
maybe a cleaner shrimp or two.
is this ok?and how much of each would i need? just a rough estimate.
For future refrence, I have not heard good thing about the invert survival rate from swf since they stopped shipping them with water. Is this still how they ship them, or have they changed to ncrease success rate?
thanks

i would just start with a few of each. if it was me i wouldent put the money into a cleaner shrimp just yet. just get a few let it go for a little bit see how they are doing and then add a few more if you need to

The nass are good for the sand, the scarlets are good because they are more peaceful than their blue legged cousins. I would also get some Turbos to clean your glass and LR. As the previous poster stated the shrimp can wait, they are very delicate so I would let the tank mature another month or two so you don't waste $30 and a shrimp's life.
