Clean up Crew

[vinnyvin]

Ok so i just wanted to ask about my clean up crew for my tank. i have a 30 gallon long tank (90cm) so far i have in there:

3 turbo snails
1 peppermint shrimp
1 cleaner shrimp
4 nassarius snails
7 hermits crabs

is that enough of a clean up crew or should i work on building this up a bit more? if so what are good members to have? other than what i have stated. kinda heard mixed reviews on keeping starfish. so i don't wanna take the risk with one and it die on me. i personally feel like i have a small clean up crew and would add to it but i wanted other opinions because i don't want to overkill with the clean up members.

For pretty good guidelines, check with one of our R2R sponsors. I have purchased from them many times.

I wouldn't add a star. Have a 30g tank with 2 turbos, 2 trochus, 2 margaritas, ~5 nerites, ~4 ceriths, ~4 nassarius, and ~8 hermits. I would add some more sand sifters if I were you, cerith snails do great. I'd go with 3/4 of them along with a few trochus snails (they eat eevveerryyytthhiinngg)

I've got 2 small emerald crabs I forgot to mention.. I've only had problems with a large one I used to have that crawled all over my sps. I ended up banishing him to my refugium where he tore up all of my chaeto [emoji58]
