My hermits are like an army of Unsullied, they listen to what I say and wont do anything else (Game of Thrones reference in case you don't know).

Is there a calculator for tgis? If so somebody toss up a link

 

[jack89]

There is no link to this but from what i have read since 2 days there is a general rule 1 snail/hermit for 1 gallon and thisndepends on your fish stock as well ...

I'm going to make a fancy program that tells you the amount of hermits needed along with input of your tank size. Would be a nice little project, just need a decent number to add to the algo

I had already a CUC remaining from a previous tank and told him those numbers. Here is what John suggested for a 210 gallon system including what I already had:

180 Dwarf Ceriths
46 Nassarius
58 Florida Ceriths
50 Nerites
2 Fighting Conchs
3 Emerald Crabs
4 Chitons and 6 Limpets
11 Trochus Snails
50 Assorted Hermits
