My tank is almost cycled now what kind of Cleanup Crew do I need for a 29 gal tank?

Im thinking this:

Trochus 4

Nassarius 6

Cerith 9

Suggest more?

Whats good for cleaning sand? any other critters? is a detrius kit worth it or?

I'd cut the Nassarius in half and maybe reduce the cerith to 4-5, and see how it goes. The tank might be fine with that.

I agree on reducing the nassarius. They are ver efficient and you wont need that many in a 29. Same with the cerith.

Yes reduce the numbers, Start slow and add from there it is much easier to add avoid the problem of having too many and them starving. Also by bring down the numbers you can add 1-2 blue legged hermits if you like and maybe a emerald crab. So people like crabs in their reef and others don't so its all in what you like. I would also say add a peppermint shrimp or maybe a fire shrimp depending on what you will have in the tank. But add things little by little.
