I know shipping costs a ridiculous amount (that's what you pay for getting livestock that's alive), but you seem to be ordering a lot there. Then again, I don't have much experience with huge tanks. Good luck!

two of the places (etrop and reeftopia) gave me free shipping and reeftopia even knocked a few bucks off for having a large order. they just emailed me to tell me that they ran out of nass snails and asked if they could replace them with certh snails at the same price. hell yea!!

That may be a little too many snails there. I would probably bet that it may be too many things to add at once to a tank as well. maybe some one else will jump in here on that.

for the conchs they get to be 1 foot. They recommend 1 per every 2 ft of sand bed. That is assuming you have a DSB. good luck with your new tank, im jealous!

Catalina gobies won't live for very long in a tropical tank, do a quick search and you'll see...

Are you sure you need 200 nassarius snails?! 8O

200Nass?

Way too many.

They'll starve.
