Clean up crew

[bad2]

I was wondering what would be a good clean up crew for a 75G tank

Turbos, cerith, nassarius, and astrea snails are the best at keeping your tank clean. Hermit crabs do a good job at cleaning as well. However, they will most likely make a meal out of your snails and other hermits for thier shells as they grow. The best hermit to get IMO is the dwarf blue legged hermit.

well after the tank is settled you could later on get a blk cucumber i love it keeps the sand clean.

but cerith, nass, astrea snails are good.

The tank is 6 months old and i currently have 5 snails but they arent up to the job wondering what numbers i should buy of snails etc. Trying to clean my sand also

If you have a sand bed, don't get the astraes as they can't turn themselves over...get trochus instead. If you have a barebottom then the astreas can flip themselves over.

I have 1" sand

Make sure you have plenty of calcium, and your snails will reproduce on their own as long as you have enough stuff for them to eat. I have a 20 gallon sump/fuge that puts lots of food in the tank constantly.
