[johnmaloney]

For a mixed cleanup crew package I would recommend:

130 Zig Zags
30 Nerites
5 Chitons
10 Limpets
20 Planaxis Snails

Zig Zag Periwinkles - $26
Cerith Snails - $52.50
Nerite Snails - $13.5
Dwarf Planaxis Snail- $10
Fuzzy Chitons - $3.75
Black Ribbed Limpets-$3.5
Subtotal: $109.25
Total with Shipping: $142.25

For a simple cleanup crew package I would recommend:

200 Ceriths
130 Zig Zags
30 Nerites

Zig Zag Periwinkles - $26
Cerith Snails - $60
Nerite Snails - $13.5
Subtotal: 99.5
With Shipping:132.50

Hope this helps. Do you already have some clean up crew members? Numbers may need to change a bit. I will tally it all up when we get the numbers straight for your tank. (Let me know as well if it is an irregular shaped tank). This is for a strong clean up crew, you can get away with a lighter crew if you want. Especially if your tank is stable, (zero nitrates, phosphates, and silicates) and doesn't have algae problems.

Hey tsouth! What are you doing here? Don't worry I won't tell your other forums....

You definitely know your stuff and with that in mind... what would you recommend and charge for a brand spankin' new 40Br with 29649 zip?

Tank specs include:
- Softy intended tank (Not sure if this helps)
- 60lbs+ fully cured LR (Culturing it myself)
- 60lbs cured sand (Again doing it myself)

Lights:
- VHO X 3 (2 actinics and 1 Aquasun... all three are 95W)

Flow:
- PVC rock support with MJ900
- Koralia #3 (800gph+)

Skimmer:
- Octopus BH-100F (Plenty good for my tank)

I'm sure this info is overkill but figured it might help out your recommendation.. thanks!

In fact I have more questions for you! I could get a better idea if you used the form in our sponsor section, or on the website. The one on the website is here. Shipping goes by flat rate, we charge $8.95 for Priority Mail and $24.95 for Express for this week at least. The new postal rates are coming out next week, it may change the price, but I don't think by much. If you need a heat pack it is $3 more. When you get the chance fill out that form and I will create a couple of packages to fit your tank.
