Happy Friday, everyone!

I am about 6 weeks out (supposedly?) from a 6'W x 5'D x 2'H tank and stand. We are working on planning for all systems now and have put in our first dry goods order (ouch!). I'll be asking for some thought on aquascaping in the near future, but for now would like to think about cleanup crew. I'm intending to use a full clan of cleanup crew after the first cycle, but would like to ask all of you for your thoughts on what has worked for you best in your past.

What combination of critters/fish has worked best for you?? Soon-to-be-overwhelmed would like to know!

Thanks in advance,

Mike
 
Reefcleaners.org get a package for half your tank size. Just make sure there's algae present before ordering
 
I'd get their pods with the order too.
 
An octopus.... he'll clean out everything

Definitely short spine urchins and trochus snails.
