Cleaning crew

[mechanic27]

I have a 46 gal bowfront tank. Which i am turning into a reef tank. I have 46 pounds of live rock and 40 pounds of live sand. I was wondering what everyone would recommend me to get for a cleaning crew? I have read a lot of different opinions online and just wanted to get your opinions.

Make sure to start it small and build it up over time, otherwise you could end up with dead snails or crabs over time.

I'd go with like
10 dwarf blue leg hermits
Nass, cerith, and nerite snails
Serpent or brittle stars
And maybe an urchin

I actually have about 8 or 9 black urchins which i never bought. I asumed they came from my live rock and they are getting big.

Don't forget some shrimp -- a few peppermints and a pair of cleaners.

Gotta have a couple of stars too.Brittle and serpent stars make great cleaners.
