I am getting closer to actual salt water in my 180 upgrade (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1930510) thread and I was wondering what do the big boys and girls have in their clean up crews? I have a few critters to transfer over but I know there are not enough to support my new tank. Some of the things I currently have are listed below:

Brown Brittle Starfish
Blue Leg Hermits
Peppermint Shrimp
Cleaner Shrimp
Nassarius Snails
Emerald Crab
Sally Light Foot
Cerith Snail
Mexican Turbo Snail - Big
Mini Brittle Starfish


When responding please list the following:

Tank Size
If you are heavy feeder or not
Any additional suggestions and/or a rough idea of what is in your tank


Thanks in advance

Not my tank, but I must say how very impressed I've been with the job the conches (I think they are queen conches) that mr.wilson added to nineball's 1350 gal tank. Not only do they keep the surface of the sand white, but they also reach up as high as they can onto the rock structures to keep them algae-free as well. According to Wiki these things can get pretty big after a while, but on the plus side, you can then turn around and eat them! :thumbsup:

dave.m,
Thanks I will do some research queen conches. I would feel bad eating one of my pets but conch is so good!
