Can I go with only turbo snails for my 75 BB? I've got a handful in there now but looking to add to the crew.

Hi I have small hermit crabs that live in my 15 gallon tank i tossed in a small snail that crawled out of my tank and eventually died i looked at it a day later and my bristle worms were cleaning it out right after 2 of my larger hermit crabs moved in and fought to get the shell that was to small for them then I saw one of the smaller crabs take it and crawl away with its new home.

Hi Indo-Pacific farms is a good start if you are looking to find a good clean up crew they do not sell coral but you will get a nice gift when you receive your order here is a photo of a blastomussa merleti they sent me.

I really want a conch snail but I read to wait until my tank has been fully cycled plus one month out. Now I WILL get one.
To be honest I had 3 in my 32 biocube at the beginning after it cycled. Down to one, traded the other 2 in. Had a huge diatom outbreak and I credit them for keeping it at bay.

I have a 32 Biocube as well, I have one conch and it has worked wonders. Constantly cleaning the sand bed. Just be careful if you have coral in your sand bed as they are a tad clumsy and can tip them over.
 

Set it and forget it: Do you change your aquascape as your corals grow?
