Snails, How many??

I've had my 125 setup for a couple months now, and had a diatomic outbreak a month ago, I finally got around to ordering snails, how many? its got about 100lbs of live rock and about 60lbs of base rock. I currently have 10 turbo snails.
If i ordered
10 dwarf Zeriths,
10 nassarius vibex
10 nerite small
10 zig zag periwinkles
10 juvenile Florida Cerith

Would this be to much?

 

fill out the questionaire and john at reefcleaners will tell you exactly what you need.


as an example here is what was recommended for my 90.

100 Dwarf Ceriths - small effective cleaners
21 Nassarius - for the fish when they arrived - (scavenger)
48 Florida Ceriths
3 CHitons
15 Limpets
19 Large Nerite
2 five pack of mangroves
1 chaeto or ulva or gracilaira
then some varied macros to go with your plan.

 

I agree, if in doubt about a cuc, go to reefcleaners and John will tell you exactly what you need.

 

The funny part is I ordered from there, but I didnt know about the questionare, just filled out the form and hopefully he can tell me what I need for future orders.

 

not intending to hijack this thread, but just a question that i have to ask.. just snails are fine for a cleanup crew? no hermit crabs? my LFS, for 125 gallon, recommends the following:

100 - Blue Legged Hermits
15 - Red Scarlet Hermit
30 - Astrea Snails
30 - Margarita Snails
30 - Cerith Snails

 

yes and no, hermits are good too, its just I wanted to wait and get those, maybe another sale but since I have a major algea problem I just wanted to start with snails, and then maybe pick-up hermits from my LFS.

 

Hermit crabs also serve a purpose and as part of the questionaire you are asked if you would like them included or not in your custom quote.

 

wowww 100 blue hermits :O

 

ya seems like a lot to me too... sure they make great custodians, but if there aren't enough spare shells kickin around it'll be a warzone!

 

John at reefcleaners is great! I wouldn't go anywhere else
