Our live rock will be here today :clap: so now we're starting to think about a cleaner crew. As of now, we'll be switching about 10 nass snails, 2 cerith snails, about 5-7 turbos, 2 cleaner shrimp, a peppermint shrimp, and a blue legged hermit crab over to the new tank.
I am looking online at different cleaner packages and they all seem like there's an insane amount of hermit crabs. In my tank right now, even with a nice selection of new shells, my one blue leg kills my turbos.
We are planning on having a variety of corals so everything needs to be reef safe.
So, what is your ideal cleaner crew for a 90?
Thanks in advance.

i dont think there is sucha thing as an "Ideal" cleanup crew as it will always vary, depending on how the growth of algae is in the tank....

i would say 10 or so hermits, start at 10 cerith, 15 turbo's..the shrimps you have are fine..this should give you a baseline to work on, add more snails or hermits as you see fit from there onwards...

i agree with Niko here
just make sure if the turbos fall on their back that u turn them over...they cant do it themselves and a dead turbo can really foul the aquarium.
