well it looks good so far!!! i would just say that the hermits might kill your snails. but if you want more i would go with some nass. snails, some cerith snails (spelling), mexican turbos.

Id get some more crabs, I prefer them over snails. You could always get some striped ones like myn, they're super cool and have awesome color 
coralkeeper has some good pics of his conch, I bet he'll post a pic if you ask him to, or check out the 29 24 14 8 thread, I think there are some pics posted of it there.
Its looking good

is it true you can throw as many CUC in there as you want?.. if it thats the case im down for a lot of shrimp and cool stuff to look at since i can only have like 1 fish in my tank anyhow..
No. It has to be proportionate to the amount of detritus or algae in the tank.
Whisk-Everything is looking really good. Keep up the good work

thanks mckevin, i'm definitely on the look out for nass snails and a fighting conch. my sand is getting browner by the day and i have cut back on light hours until i can find these snails.
hey ronnie, Subie is right, dont want to have too many for a CUC. Thats one reason why i started off small, if i feel i need more i can add but right now i got to admit the cerith snails and hermits are doing a great job. The turbos are good too but they rarely go on the sand. I need them nass snails though!
Thanks Subie, i think its coming along nicely too. I've been enjoying it every day.

easy with shrimp, well depends on what you get, but I found out...the hard way! Cleaners will eat each other if not given enough space/ food. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but peppermints and other smaller shrimps do better in groups

i havent looked into it as far as groups of peppermints but you are right about the cleaners fighting with each other.
