I'd do something like 5 smaller nerites, 20 dwarf ceriths, 5 nassirus, 6 dwarf hermits, 6 ceriths,6 perriwinkles, 1 brittle star

Shrimp don't really serve to much of a purpose as a clean up crew.They are scavengers,but they don't help with cleaning. I would do some blue leg or emrald crabs.
And maybe some turbo snails,I even like the limpets.

I believe cleaner shrimp will,yet cleaner shrimp and peppermint shrimp are pretty much the same.But they dont always take care of the aiptasia.
Its sort of a hit and miss.

BTW im 16 and reefing on my own also.
From you'r pic it looks pretty nice.
