Cleaning crew?

[D_Ahumada]

My first sw tank is up. It's a 29 Gallon with 2" sand, about 50 lbs live rock. So next I'm looking at adding a cleaning crew. I was wondering what people would suggest to start out. I'm planning on having this as a Reef set-up.

I'd start with about 10 nassarius snails, 5 astraea snails and 5 cerith snails. You can add emerald crabs when you get algae, and starfish and shrimp when you get fish.

no turbos Biff?

I wouldn't add a turbo unless he's having an algae problem.

I wouldnt throw a turbo snail in a 500 gallon tank filled with algae.:D
+1 Biff.Except I'd throw in 3 or 4 trochus snails to.

I like the tiger snails much better than the astraea. nassarius are nice too!
