I can find very little info on the number of snails & crabs i can use in my tank. I have a 29 gallon that i just set up ( waiting to add things until the cycle is over ) i have aprox 25 pounds of live sand & aprox 10 pounds of cured ( slowing growing in to live rock ) rock. I plan to have no more than 5 fish ( a few damsels & a clown ). i was wondering if i added about 20 hermit crabs ( mix of red & blue legged ) 10 turbo snails, 1 coral banded shrimp,& a few (1 or 2) emerald crabs if this would be an over load , or not enough. my goal is to have a easy to maintain system. any info or input on my plans would be wonderful. this is my 1st saltwater tank, so the more info on this question the better
