Hello everybody. Ever since a while ago, my tank has been recovering from a crash. The tank is stable and well, and I am looking to get a replacement clean up crew. The last time I got it was from ReefCleaners.org as the last time I did, i was very happy. Now I am also aware those packs usually give more snails than necessary. So my question is, for a rectangular 75 gallon tank with a 2 inch deep sandbed, which pack should I get? Or if even from there.

Other info: about 45 pounds of rock. Moderate bioload. And no, i dont want crabs.

Thanks!

I personally like the packages at Pacific East Aquaculture. I just bought a package for a 60 gallon cube and it was more than enough.

The prices are a bit more than ReefCleaners but you get more variety in the Crew.

If you want, start with a package for a 40 to 55 gallon and take it from there. It will all depend eventually how much fish you have, how much you feed and water quality.

Here read this article:

From what I have read, the risks of nuking are minimal in a reef tank. The cucumber has to be attacked or be severely stressed for it to release toxins. And I have read insistences that it has died and eaten by hermit crabs. Of course you won't have crabs but you get the idea, the risks are minimal.

Hopefully someone else can add their own experience.
