Snails, hermit crabs, cleaner shrimp, magnetic glass cleaner, long arms & time,lol.

Not sure what one need's for CUC as I only really have about 6 - 8 hermits & about the same for snails that i can see. I do want to get some shrimp once the new tank is up.

If you go by J&L CUC packages this is what they suggest for 30 - 45 gal.

30 - Blue Legged Hermits
5 - Red Scarlet Hermit
10 - Astrea Snails
10 - Margarita Snails
10 - Cerith Snails

I had bought the 70-90g Package from J&A it was over kill. I split it between the two 90gallons. Suggest 15-25gallon package. Blue legged hermit crabs are the small ones. Blue knuck hermit crabs are the big ones. I you what one of these I suggest one.

I would agree with Cory that J&L CUC are major over kill, IMO. I would start with 4-5 BL Hermit, 4-5 Cerith snails, turbo's and maybe a shrimp or 2.

agree with Griz..but be careful with hermits they tend to become a major PITA later on so go lite on them.

Look for some really small Blue Knuckle hermits not the bigger BL Hermit I said earlier.
