Can you have too many of them ?? Seen some as long as 8 inches. And lots of little ones. counted as many as 60 when light are off. 75g tank?

I've never had a problem with them. They will continue to proliferate if fed. Do you think you overfeed?

Not feeding anything yet?? Tank just set up a month ago, got a couple Emerald Crabs and a Pepermint Shrimp, and a few Hermits... The rock was out of 2 diff setups from friends...

I lost all mine in the move...and am desperate to get some more; going to pick up a cleaning crew this afternoon and hope to get the lfs to toss in a few. I had 4 10-inchers I grew quite fond of, minded their own business and did their job very well.

I'd hate to try to run a tank without them.

If you're growing algae, it's a sign of health, but it's a lot better if you can put a refugium somewhere into the loop. I've only run one for a week, and I'm impressed at what I see going on.
