Size of CUC?

I was wondering what other people have for their clean up crew & how effective they feel it is.

I will was wondering if I should beef up mine, but was wondering how mine compairs to others.

I have no idea if there is any kind of "rule of thumb" for CUC and tank size.

Post size of tank with tank info, current CUC, and how effective you feel your current CUC is.

Mine is a 100 Gal Mixed Reef with about 100 - 110 lbs of L/R and a 2 inch SSB. I have about 20 small mixed hermits/ 35 mixed snails/ Sally light foot/ 3 emrald Crabs/ CBS/ 4 peppermint Shrimp

I think I need more snails....
