Inverts for a 29g

Manwolf · 11/07/2009, 06:53 PM

Hey guys, for my 29g reef i was thinking of going with:
5 Blue legged hermits
5 Red tip hermits (already got)
1 Cleaner shrimp
3-4 Peppermint shrimp
10 Nassarius snails
5 Turbo snails

How does this sound? Any recommendations/suggestions? Thanks for the feedback ahead of time

I'd cut back to 4 of each type of hermit crab, everything else is fine.

alright thanks.
Should i add them slowly over time, in what order should i add them? My tank just finished cycling 3 or 4 days ago, and the only algae outbreak that i got is orange cyno.

I had 2 peps in my 29 and it seemed like they were always on top of each other. I would say start with 2 and then decide if you want to add more.
The turbos will get HUGE. For a 29 I would say start with 1 or MAYBE 2 and then decide. My cats eye turbo is huge and pretty much knocks everything over in my 40 breeder.
