clean up crew

[Bagz]

Im starting a 60 gallon reef tank and looking for a clean up crew. Would this be to much for the tank 100 astrae snails-100 blueleg hermit, 100 nassarius, 12 cerith snails would that be to much

 

[T-6 Driver]

yes, most would starve to death. Go with about a third of that (30 snails, 30 crabs) and see how it works in your tank.

Don't forget to get extra shells for the hermits.

 

[Bagz]

ic now what would you get if you had a 60 gallon.

I'd skip the hermit crabs, myself, since they're predatory. For that size tank, I might start with 6 Trochus, 6 cerith, and some Stomatella.
