I agree with Greg on 4-5 bl hermit crabs. Skip Cerith snails eazy pray for hermit crabs. Suggest 3 Turbo sails (1/10gallons) not the Mexican ones they get to big and knocks ever thing over. Sand sifting starfish, 1 cleaner shrimp.

love the one hermit's shell.

never seen those test kits before anywhere i shop. are they strip's ? just wondering as i dont recall seeing a set amount of test's labelled before.

[Chase31]

no there the hagen tubes that you add set ammount of drops then match the color

Looks like a great start!
Did you get 3 left-handed hermits (like the one shown)? I have 3 of them also and find them interesting but not really the best cleaners. I love the Skunk Cleaner Shrimp also! So nice looking. And I hear ya on the acclimating. I acclimate for at least an hour usually and it's torturous but better than dead livestock!
