Clean up crew advice

[t5Nitro]

I am going to order my clean up crew for my new tank. I was going to get maybe ceriths, nessarius, and turbos with maybe 1 or two crabs being the blue legged and the yellow legged kind.

This is a 125 with maybe 20 gallons of water in the sump. Started getting some diatoms now so I was going to order them

Thanks.

How many lbs of live rock do you have?

 

[t5Nitro]

It was 75 pounds base rock and when the 46 is transfered there is another 50 to make 125, except I found out that the base rock when wet may be around 125 alone.

If you want to get an all around good cleaner crab go w/ the Mexican Red Leg. I've never seen them look sideways at a coral. All crabs will predate snails given the chance. Either for a new home or just for fun. Who knows.

I'm not sure anyone ever demonstrated that hermits do anything for fun. It's part of eating and staying alive.
