[GoTakeANap]

How many snails and crabs should I have in my tank? The ones im looking at are listed below. Im about to place a order but dont wanna overdue the amount of snails and crabs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

75 Gallon

Fish: Coral Beauty, FoxFace, Firefish Goby and a Black/White Clown. Have a few Nassarius in there.

Nassarius Snails
Turbo Snails
Cerith Snails
Blue Leg Hermit Crab


29 Gallon

Fish: Longnose Hawk and a Yellow Watchmen Goby. (Thinking about adding a Lawnmower Blenny bc I have a major hair algae problem. Would it be a problem to add this fish to my tank?)

Over at reefcleaners.org they have a handy chart to figure how how many snails and/or crabs you need for your size tank. Cleaner Packages with Free Shipping
LA has pre-built packages based on your level of algae or detritus- Aquarium Algae Reef Cleaner Packages: Algae Eating Fish and Detritus Feeders for Saltwater Aquariums
I thought there was another one, I am looking for it. But start looking around there and it could give you a good idea how many.

I would start slow with a mix of several different types of snails. You do have an advantage with having two tanks to split the amount of CUC if you order a CUC package online. For the most part, I wouldn't add that large of a CUC at once since there typically is not enough food for them.
