Pick a cleanup crew for me!

[Daniel Doherty]

Badly in need of some cleanup crew. Nitrates are 2.7 and phosphates 0.03
I’m getting a white tail tang but think he’ll even need some assistance with this mess
Current cleanup crew is one conch, one boxer shrimp, one blood red shrimp and one hermit crab.
I’m in college so I’m taking advantage of mastersfischs current discounts to get a cleanup crew going. My tank is 125 gallons

yeah man you need to stock up for a tank that size!

Personally, I really like:

Turbo snails: massive algae eaters, basically sea cows
Trochus snails: fast and efficient algae eaters, can reproduce in our tanks
tuxedo urchins: excellent algae mowers, but will knock over and drag around any frags that aren't super secure
dwarf cerith snails: tiny little guys that I think are great getting into crevices that other bigger snails can't access

As always, I strongly recommend ordering from Reef Cleaners because their prices and customer service are excellent, I've been using them for over 10 years: https://www.reefcleaners.org/

I’m in Ireland, but I just ordered 20 trochus, 10 cerith, 10 hermits, a tuxedo urchin, a sandsifting star and another conch.
Should be here Friday, can’t wait. I was very tempted to get a sea hare but was worried about them with power heads

Get some cowries, nassarius snails ×10 at least a couple of conchs, about 10 trochus snails and 10 turbo snails to start

Wow the prices are amazing! Snails are typically 5 euro here, same as the smaller hermits. Larger species can be 12 euro. I though i was doing well getting my crew for 2-3 euro a piece emerald crabs are typically 25 euro here!
