Wow you got a lot on my 125 I got 10 hermits and 10 turbos.

That's a lot of bio load to be placed in a tank at one time.

My tank is well established, I have had it up and running almost 10 years, I had a set back last year because I had to move out of the house, lost most everything, so getting everything built back up, already have a pretty good sized cleanup crew, but in my opinion you can't have too many.

And actually for a cleanup crew that really isn't a huge bio load.

I though this was a new tank that's not bad then.

Well here are a few pictures, didn't do all of them, we have all seen nice snails and hermit crabs. The flame scallop didn't come with the clean up crew and then it looks like I got a bonus with my sea cucumbers, a pearly jaw fish

I have another thread with a video if anyone is interest or I can post here later as well.
