    Hey guys. So my tank is getting close to being done cycling so I wanna start working on a stock list. This is my first SW, so I'm new at this.

    Can someone give em an idea for about how many crabs and snails I should aim for? also species? I'm thinking blue legged hermits, and snails.. IDK.

    THanks

    As a point of reference

    in my 55

    120ish dwarf ceriths
    20ish Fl Ceriths
    30ish nerites (mixed sizes)
    10ish nassarius
    30ish dwarf planaxis


    About 12-16 blue legged hermits


    I originally also had limpets and chitons, but these ended up dying. After about 9 months, the large Nerites started dying off but this was anticipated and predicted by reef cleaners. I've lost maybe 5 Nerites.

    That place always sends more than you ordered... pretty awesome.
