It is always going to be a little different with each tank. I started a 130 with a 50 gallon sump a few months ago and have added 15 hermit crabs, 5 Trochus snails and one tang. I feed very little, use a skimmer and grow Chaetomorpha in the sump. That crew has been enough for that system. My 120 has more than I can keep track of.

There are so many things that can effect algae growth in the display tank that it would be hard to have a one size fits all prescription. I prefer to just add cleaners as needed. In a tank that size probably add 3 to 5 cleaners you think are cool at a time and see how the tank looks.
