Clean-Up Crew
So what does everyone suggest for a clean-up crew for a 125 reef. Mine has never been what it could/should be.
I have about 10 Turbo Snail, 5 cerinths, 10 astreas, and 5 of something else I forget.

I might add I am dying to go to the LFS but don't want their opinion necessarily.

I just stopped by the LFS too, but I left empty handed. I'd probably add 10 or so more snails, preferably the turbos.

I have gotten into the habit of leaving empty handed too.
Turbos are bizarre. They seem to go dormant for 2 or 3 days at a time and then they are active for weeks on end.

I also have a 125 reef and I buy 40 snails at a time and within a few months they disappear and I buy more. I guess my hermits eat them, and maybe the brittle star too?

Ever hear of a Halloween hermit? He was my first hermit crab, small when I got him. He is now huge and I am sure he is having some nice meals in there, but I can't get myself to get rid of him.

That can get expensive! Never heard of one of those.
