    If you get hermits, steer clear of any snail that can't right themselves such as the astraea. They're an easy lunch on your dime otherwise.

    Reef Cleaners is indeed awesome.

    It s a start but you probly need much more than that. Reefcleaners is awesome! Great prices and you get exactly what you need. Never heard a bad thing about them ever.

    How old is your tank, and how much algae do you have? Turbos need TONS of algae to live, ya may have to spot feed them for a bit.

    But if your tank is new, I'd order a 30g tank cleaner kit from reefcleaners, if you're tank is older, go ahead and get the 55g crew.

    Reef cleaner packages. Used them twice and will use them a 3rd when I set up my 55. You always get way more than you order.
