    So getting together a list for cleaners... this is what I have on the list so far. This is for a 75g set up.
    Tiger sand conch x3
    Sponge crab x1
    Green emerald crab x3
    Pom pom crab x2
    Tiger Pistol Shrimp x1
    Scarlet Skunk Cleaner shrimp x2
    Diamond Watchman Goby x1
    Is this too much?

    Personally I subcribe to the theory of 1 hermit crab for every two gallons and 1 snail per gallon, so no, I don't think you have too much.

    Here's a good article about clean up crew. Has some good descriptions of a lot of different animals as well as stocking suggestions.

    I would be cautious of the crabs. I've had problems with emeralds in the past and would suggest only adding them temporarily if there was an algae problem (specifically bubble algae).

    Turbo snails are my favorite followed by astrae snails. A few scarlet reef or blue-legged hermits are probably a better alternative to the emeralds.
