Cuc For 36 Gallon?

[demasonisrule]

What is the CUC for a 36 gallon? I know nothing of how to decide, so could anybody steer me in the right path?

id always reccomend snails rather than crabs...ime crabs knock stuff about, eat snails and are just a general nuicence

For 36 gallons (newly cycled) i would go with:

15 Nass/cerith mix
4 astrea
3 hermits

then maybe add in a conch at a later date

Ok, I may have to go 30 gallons rather than 36-would it be similar? my guess is it would be:
13 nassarius/ceriths
3 astrea
2 hermits
Am I correct? I still have a lot of learning to do!

 

[seffieuk]

Yes, that would be fine

If you can, get some bumble bee nassarius snails. Very cute little things and very active too. I have them in my tank and they make a really attractive addition as well as performing a vital task
