how many cleaners for a 90g

[andrew jacoby]

I have a 90 gallon reef tank. Is there a recommended number of cleaners for a tank this size? IE turbos, crabs etc

I found that 1 hermit/10 gallons is about right. Less is more on hermits.

1 Fighting Conch

25 Ceriths
25 narcissus
25 Astrea or Turbo Snails.

Adjust the turbos up or down depending on algae.

Snails just seem to dwindle over time, so you need to replenish as needed. I think by reducing hermits that I finally stabilized my snail population.
