Anyone know where the cheapest place is for reef cleaners(snails,hermits,etc).I am looking for some to put in my 44gal reef.

MO shops, J&L, Seacare, etc. - if you're already doing an MO order. If you do one just for cleaners, you're probably going to pay more for shipping than what you are saving.

Snails won't survive that guy either. Especially when he grows up.

You could risk putting the wrasse in with the lionfish, I think he'd be smart enough to avoid him (maybe put some rocks in for him to hide in, just in case). You could also just leave the cleanup crew for now until you get more live rock, ie. more of a biological cycle going that requires detrivores.

probaly just wait untill i get more rock,even though he's almost too big for the lion to bother.Was thinking on trading/selling the complete 55 along with the 33(once i build a stand and canopy)for a bigger tank(something untill i start building the tank i want).I want to gut this room with the two tanks and lizard's cage and set up something around 100-150 under the window.Just something I've been thinking about.
