Thoughts on this clean up crew?

100 Dwarf Ceriths
60 Nassarius
75 Florida Ceriths
60 Nerites

I am looking at adding a cuc to my 150 reef. Currently have a lot of algae and really need something to help out with it. I am looking at reefcleaners.org

Also anyone know the difference between dwarf cerith and Florida cerith?

Josh

dwarf ceriths are 1/16 to 1/4 of an inch, tiny tiny critters that can get into more places than most snails. Regular ceriths get to be and inch long or longer. I idea behind the small snails is that large snails need alot to eat in a day or they die, so after the initial cleanup you get alot of die off. With a balanced crew the little guys only need a little food.
