I'm in the final stages of planning before I get my NUVO 10 wet. I got to be honest with you I'm slightly overwhelmed when it comes to the discussion of clean up crews. So I'm posting a list that I believe is a good start/package. However I'd like some input/ideas if you don't mind helping out someone who is a bit naive when it comes to clean up crews.

1 Trochus Snail
2 Nassarius Snails
2-3 Cerith Snails
1 Strawberry Conch
1 Green Emerald Crab
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 Blue Legged Hermit
2 Scarlet Hermits

Should I add more Snails? Mind you I don't want to over populate and then these guys start to starve. I also plan to keep a Tailspot Blenny.
 
You should be good too go .. depends on how Much algae Grows during cycle and new tank syndrome.. starting up
 
Just my opinion. Drop the conch, they need lots of open ground. Drop the Emerald, not really needed unless you have bubble algae. And drop the cleaner unless you want him for show. My Blood Cleaner is more of a pest to my LPS always stealing food from them. Other then that check out Nerite snails also.
