Cleanup Crew for 210 Reef

[Daren]

My 210 gallon reef is cycled and ready for a cleanup crew. I have 250 lbs of live rock and 200 lbs of live sand. What and how much does everyone recommend? Also good places to purchase packages from. Thanks,

I have to tell you I'm very fond of Mexican turbos. Try ten of them. Then add a few more if they do not do the trick. If you'd like throw in some other types like astreas. I do not like hermit crabs because they have a tendencey to eat snails if they fall on their backs. For cleaning up left over food cleaner shrimp do a good job. Get two of them. Some tiny brittle stars will do the same. When your tank is more mature I recommend an urchin... but only if your corals are firmly connected to your rock. If your tank shows signs of bubble algae, buy a emerald crab. In my 600 gallon reef system I may have a total of 20 snails. Some might say that is too little. But I don't like the idea of starving them when they run out of food.



Oh recommended places to buy crews. http://www.saltwaterfish.com Drs Foster Smith

Your LFS even better... yes may cost more but you get to see if they are healthy and you have some where to go in the future.

I think FunkieReefJunkie is right on. Get what you need not some huge number.
