Ok Gang I have a new 90 gallon on the go ill be stocking it soon, obviously i wont need a clean up crew right away but I should start planning this out.
1 Lawnmower Blenny (M 2"-3") 8 Astrea Snails 8 Nassarius Snails 1 Emerald Crab 10 Red Leg Hermit Crabs 1 Electric Blue Hermit Crab Cleaner shrimp ? I hear crabs are bad but if you keep them fed they are fine, Thoughts? |

I tried red leg hermit (or was it scarlet) crabs once. Cannibalistic little bastards!

Turban snails and Cerith snails are good addition.

As long as your tank is not too clean red leg hermits are fine.

I can supply you with the Astrea snails if you're interested.

Sure that would be great, I assume I should just have fish for a while then add the clean up crew later so they actually have something to eat

I would skip the crabs because crabs will try and kill the snails for food and their awesome shells IMO snails are more valuable !! If you're just starting up I'll definitely get a wide variety of snails and add them slowly or else they will starve to death.

Ya looks like they could be trouble if they do not get fed well. Ill do the snails for sure and just run with that.
Thanks everyone! So other than ocellaris clown fish what are some good fish to start off with? I want colors! haha |

Everyone has their own preferences. I like Blue Chromis, they are hardy, cheap and school nicely, just make sure they are all close to the same size.
