I need some recommendations on clean up crew for my 40g. I’ve seen the classic
🧹 CLEANUP CREW
* 4× Trochus Snails
* 3× Nassarius Snails
* 2× Cerith Snails

But I’m not sure if that’s enough or I should switch them up or if there is more interesting options
 
You're gonna need more eventually. But if it's a newer tank this isn't a bad start. I always think its a good idea to have as diverse of a clean up crew as possible. Astraea snail, Conch and Hermit crabs are generally good(hermits can be a bit risky, sometimes eating snails). Emerald crabs, Urchins, Starfish, Cucumbers, Shrimp are good but they are more situational.
 
Is the tank new or mature? Do you have algae, how bad is it? Is your current cuc doing a good job? I stock according to my tank's needs at that time, so I don't know what your tank needs. Sometimes you need to beef up the cuc sometimes not.
