Clean up crew how many

[johnsamm7]

So currently my tank is cycling and I was planning after the cycle to add my clean up crew before I add my first fish I was planning on adding a shrimp and a couple snails . How many could I add at the same time in a 30L nuvo fusion . And I also plan on putting corals in eventually down the line is there any other members of the crew I could add that wouldn't affect my corals or are well known for keeping the tank clean

If it is cycling don't add to many but when it's done you can order a pack from https://www.reefcleaners.org/
Highly recommended and John is a great guy.

Just curious, but has anyone used Aquarium Depot? Their prices are supper good from what I've seen. Have NOT used them, just looking for actual reviews on them.

I personally have never used them, but I do know that this is the company that used to be Reefs2Go. They just changed their name. I haven't seen many good reviews on either. A lot of DOA and other assorted issues. Some people have had things ship okay though.

+1 to Diesel. I wouldn't worry too much about having a good CUC right now, you can always add more to fill a more specific need. No real limit to how many you can add, as long as it's reasonably to do so. :eek:
I personally don't like hermit crabs, unless they are very small, blue or red-legged. And I like Nassarius snails more than I like Nerite snails, and much prefer the Florida Cerith, those two (nassarius and Florida Cerith) will keep your sandbed pretty clean and constantly turned over by the nassarius.

Hope that helps!! Oh yeah, when adding your fish, start with one or two, and research which fish are shy vs. aggressive, so the easily scared fish have a "safe place" when you do add the other fish.

Hermit crabs are Murderous lil' bastages! If you do end up getting crabs (Phrasing BOOM) make sure to get an abundance of empty shells for them to move into, this will help save some of your snails.
