Good CUC for 75

[whodini6]

Ok so i have just about to finish my cycle. All my levels have spiked and now are on the way back down. I am estimating that i will be back to normal after my water change thursday. So its just about time to start thinking CUC's. I was thinkning about getting the In the Mix reef package. Any advice on this.

avoid it:
get 2-3 mexican turbos
10-20 astreas
10-20 nassarius snails
10-20 hermits
get 1 or 2 emerald crabs
eventually get a bristle star

so why am i stayin away from that one. i dont understand really.

because there's too much you don't need in it.
why get a coral banded shrimp, which can end up being a terror in your tank? why get 45 hermits? 5 emeralds? start out small and add to it if you need to. you may run a nicely clean tank that won't need such a huge CUC and you'll have less deaths from starvation, hermit fighting, and crabs eating your fish/corals.
