750 Gallon System Clean up Crew

[AS]

Time for a new crew!

Need crew for (3) tanks in system:
- 500 gal mixed reef
- 150 gal refugium
- 100 Gal frag

I would prefer larger critters vs typical big bundle of small critters.

2 questions
- what would you buy
- where would you buy it

Thanks

You have to wait until your tank is creating enough waste to keep a clean-up crew alive. Then I'd definitely agree about the conchs, plus Mexican turbos for hair algae, nassarius snails in the sandbed to keep the subsurface stirred up, and emerald crabs if you have bubble algae. Hermit crabs are a mixed solution. They consume waste and detritus. They can cause problems with other inverts, but they are also very entertaining to watch.
