My CUC

I am about to finish cycling my tank and am preparing for my clean up crew. I went on reefcleaners and picked out a good list. I have a 46 gallon reef with a 30 gallon sump/refugium. I have a lot of rock and plan on about 8 fish with 2 being at least six inches. What are your opinions on this CUC:
30 Dwarf Ceriths
16 Nassarius
15 Florida Ceriths
11 Blue Legs
7 Large Nerite and 5 Small to medium Nerites
1 five pack of mangroves
Some Chaeto

You will probably need to thin than out a bit after the initial cleanup is done. You should also plan to get a lot more than you order from RC. I swear they just take shovel fulls of snails and send them out the door. Everyone I know that has ordered from them gets way more than what they ordered.
