Variety of snails Turbo, Cerith, Stomatella list goes on. I don't think the cleaner shrimp will clean enough especially when the diatoms go crazy and the shrimp will not be able to clean the glass. Hermits are good for sand but they can be a pain when they start climbing on your corals however they are awesome during the diatom stage imo.

Well got my rock, thanks to dez and his hospitality, Great tank! looks amazing.
Well heres the aqua scape, probably not final but think it looks good so far! (sorry about the salt creep)  Lots of caves!

Well guess my rock work wasn't that good
 , decided that the peice on the left of the tank the really cool one like a dead coral will be epoxied to the rocks directly behind it because that side of the tank it boring.The skimmer is skimming pretty well (i think) (was supposed to get a difff skimmer last night but my truck broke down and couldnt afford it) the skim mate is still darker fairly wet but its only one night and not that bad i dont think
