was wondering what clean-up crew you would suggest for a 75gl reef it's been running for 2 months now and has 2 small zoas. frags and a carpet anemone. also any fish suggestions? i have clowns and blennies in my 55gl so was thinking a blue tang not sure what else to put in there tho.

Nassarius and ceriths snails are a good addition to the sandbed. I'd get some glass cleaners like Astreas or turbos too. Diversity is better than quantity, imo. The 75 is a little small for a blue tang. You might be better with a yellow tang to start.

I agree, although I prefer Trochus, if available, to Astraea and Turbo snails.
