What do you think about reef cleaner packs?

[Slipstream06]

I was looking on various website at reef cleaning packs and it seems like there a little over kill. I think 100 gallon 100 snails, 75 hermit crabs. Do I really need that many?

In my opinion, I like either hermits or snails. I tend to think hermits go after snails and their shells. Plus snails have large varieties of different habits from nassarius to ceriths and turbos. I bought my starter pack from reefcleaners.org because my local store charges a few bucks for a snail so I said...yeah no. Again my opinion I have an 80 gallon tank, went for 50 assorted and they have exploded like crazy, I can spot snails everywhere I look.

I order about 1/2 to 2/3 of what he recommends and it's perfect. His snails are small

The only thing I don't like about the cleaner packs he has is the choices of snails. I usually buy them individually on my own. I like cerith and nerite, but the dwarf ceriths I feel like do a great job, but you end up with 100s of shells laying around when they die.
