    I did but he doesnt carry any peppermint shrimp that I need.
    I didnt really compare prices though. Keep in mind this is free shipping.

    How does what is in the package look? I have a 90 with 1/2 CC 1/2 sand bottom. 100+ lbs LR. I plan on doing soft corals eventually.

    id get your snails, crabs, macros from reefcleaners.org and get your peppermint local. curious, why do you want so many peppermints? and 90 nass snails? thats a bit overkill in my opinion.

    id rather have 90 dwarf ceriths all in my rock scape going to town on the hard to reach areas than nass snails. why 5 emeralds?

    in a 90gal tank id do a much different clean up crew personally than what you have selected here.

    id do the following:

    - 90-100 dwarf ceriths
    - 30 nass (the ones from reef cleaners are nice and small to begin with seems LFS' just have large ones around me anyhow)
    - 35 florida ceriths
    - 20 hermit crabs
    - 15 large nerite snails
    - 8-10 small-medium nerites

    Thats what id get for a 90gal if i were to goto reef cleaners. I got a similiar CuC (with less quantity in my 75gal and its working out phenomenally)

    edit: atop of that clean up crew i have a skunk cleaner shrimp, and a peppermint shrimp (bought to handle a piece of aiptasia that he tore up and now uproots coral plugs which is pissing me off).

    Thats just the package they put together for me. I didn't make it. But I can adjust it.
    I need the shrimp for my aiptasia control.

    Is this too much stuff to add to a tank about a month old?
