    Well here is what im told I should get...

    30 Dwarf Ceriths - small effective cleaners
    12 Nassarius
    12 Florida Ceriths
    9 Blue Legs
    4 Large Nerite and 7 Small to medium Nerites

    Seems like a hell of alot to me! is this a good amount?

    I have a 30g tank and 10g sump
    12kg LR
    I was hoping to get some shrimp as well, should i replace some snails with a couple of shrimp or can I just add them on to the list?

    Thanks for any suggestions :)

    it's not as big as you think, they will disapear into the tank in a few days and you'll wonder where your money went! but then you'll also notice the tank stays cleaner and the spots of algae begin to build up and then disappear overnight as if by magic :p

    you can just add the shrimp to whats listed, and in case this was not from reefcleaners then I would suggest getting a custom quote from John first and comparing - john can usually beat the cost at your LFS including shipping!

    Thanks, yeah this is a quote from reef cleaners :)
    Im sure he could beat my LFS, but its a shame as I dont think he has a base in the UK :( otherwise I would happily pay him :)

    Well looks like this will be my CUC then =) shall head out next weekend to buy them

    Would it be ok to add all these at once to a new tank? Or should I do half now half later?

    if your tank is cycled all the way,just go ahead and add them,John recommends floating the bags for 15 min and then simply put them in.;D
