Clean Up Crew Replenishment

So slowly over the last year, my snail and hermit crab population have somehow wiped each other out like the on going eternal battle between vampires and werewolves. As of earlier today, I only spotted two large hermits and 3-4 snails where as a few months ago I had at least 20 of each. I figured 8 months into this tank and now a year into the hobby, now is probably a good time to replenish the tank.

One sign I did notice within the last few days is that my tank has gotten dirtier (a.k.a. more mature). I haven't been feeding more or anything but I guess with the clean-up crew being picked off, I've just been having less help recently.

Right now, I'm scoping out Reef Package number 3 from ReefTopia.com. I think this time around I will be skipping the blue legged hermits since they seem to be the instigators of the battles and this package seem like the perfect fit for my 90 gallon tank.

In addition to this, I think I'll need some more Mexican turbos to clear my algae problem and if I can find one easily, I'll also need a sea urchin to clean the coralline algae off of my glass.

Happy Holidays!
