CUC/inverts, too much for a 75g?

f3honda4me · 01/11/2012, 08:28 PM

I am looking at getting the following as a CUC and starter invert for my 75G tank, and want to make sure it's not too much.

5 banded trochus snails
15 dwarf cerith
10 nassarius vibex
3 peppermint shrimp
5 large nerite snails
a couple assorted hermits and extra shells (link to what might be in that)http://reefcleaners.org/index.php?pa...mart&Itemid=34

I have 75 pounds of live rock, about a 2 inch aragonite medium sandbed.

Not even close to to being to much. E-mail john at reef cleaners and tell him about your tank and he will get you a great CUC. I have ordered from him a few times. It seems like a lot but he knows his stuff. I think i have about 50 dwarf cerith snails in my 75 along with many many others and it stays clean.

you can also look at the quick crews he recommends but i think its best to tell him about your tank to get the best cuc and value.

Ok I've reached out to him about modifying my order to add more for the size of my tank. Thanks for the suggestion!
