So I have been wanting to get a nice clean u pcrew for my 29 gallon reef. First ill tell you what I got. Live rock, chaeto, slim skim nano skimmer, brs biopellets and reactor, and I have 1 six line wrasse and 1 percula. I am planning on getting another percula and a firefish. Along with cuc. i went on reef cleaners and they have free shipping so im like hell yeah. Which cuc should i go with. The 30 gallon one has 28 dwarf ceriths, 11 nassarius, 12 florida ceriths, and 6 large and 5 small to med nerites. I feel like that is a lot! So, what i am asking is which package woyld be the best for me? Heres the link.

If you have some live rock in your tank it should be fin, those dwarf ceriths stay pretty small. The one thing I might worry about is the nassarias snails, they do a good job cleaning the sand but i have seen mine eat some small hermits and a small goby once when it was a bit sick. But if you have enough sand they should be fine.

As for the cucumber I have no experience with them.

That's way too much for a 29 gallon tank, in my opinion. I wouldn't put more than 10-12 certiths and maybe one or two nassarius snails.

Assuming you're using "cuc" as a short way of saying "cleanup crew" and not a cucumber. I wouldn't put a cucumber in that tank either.

Finally, even though you didn't ask, I will say you're going to have problems adding any other fish in a small tank with a sixline already resident there. You should skip the firefish - it's likely to take a beating from the wrasse.
