Right now i have 6 snails, and 2 hermit crabs. Hermit's are keeping my dsb clean right now, and snails are crusin the Live Rock. I want to take out the hermit crabs, they are just some i got at the beach. What should i get? Clean up crew? Or the fish. Fish i am thinkin about are a percula clown, flame angel (prolly gonna wait awhile on him), green cromis (sp). What other fish would ya get if you had an empty tank? I will have corals, but nothing fancy. gotta get my lights first. If clean up crew, what would you get first? lookin to keep dsb clean right now. Any thoughts?:cool:

I would go with the chromis first, just to make sure everything is fully cycled. After the fish have been making their mess, then get the inverts. I did the same thing...got chromis, made sure all was well, then added the inverts and later new fish. HTH

I agree, but get 3 chromis so that they will school. The snails should take care of the majority, they will be on overtime though. All three kinds of fish sound good, IMO. Yes wait with the flame angle (6 months minimum after established). Sound like you did your homework...........good luck HTH
 
poiboy-just something i found somewhere. i kinda feel like my brain has left me somtimes!!:)
I do belive i will go get the chromises today. just so happy, it took forever for my tank to cycle!!
thanks for all the help!
