cleaner crew...


I have a 30g cube just getting done with its cycle and now i'm wondering what all of you suggest for a cleaner crew? My plan with this tank is to make it a reef tank, so reef friendly cleaners are preferred. I want to get a peppermint shrimp to help clean up the aiptasia that I already have in there, but what are some other suggestions?

Couple of blue legged hermit crabs and maybe some nassarius snails to eat detritus.

Definitely try to get some nassarius snails. I have four of them in my tank and I lvoe them. They do a great job cleaning your sandbed. Not to mention they are funny to watch. Keep in mind you won't see them much. They hide in the sand and only come up to eat.

I have 6 snails and 3 hermits in my 30 gal. I'd recommend getting small astrea or trochus snails - just a scale thing, I think it looks better to have small snails in a nano. Looks funny to have a huge turbo in a nano to me.
