Looking For Advice On Cleanup Crew

[Cleverbs]

In the past I really havent had much of a cleanup crew other then a couple serpent stars. This time I would like to have more hermits and/or snails. the tank is a 93g cube and so I have been looking at reefcleaners packages but I feel they are a little under stocked so I am looking for advice on what to add.

122 Dwarf Ceriths
34 Nassarius
30 Florida Ceriths
33 Nerites
26 Assorted Hermits

Thinking of adding:
20 Hermits
10 Nassarius
1 rock boring urchin - worried about this hitting sps frags when they start in the tank but I am not sure as I have only ever had a longspine urchin

yea no sweat. In Renees article, I believe does talk about over competition too. And there's nothing worse than a dead turbo.
I like a good variety. And I dont trust crabs.

IMO the reefcleaner packages offered on the web are usually a little over-stocked. I'd start with about 1/2 of the recommended number and see how the tank responds before adding more.
