How much clean-up crew do i need?

Just a quick curious "george" question... for a 35G tank whats a good amount of clean-up crews "guys" .... Do i have enough?

Inventory:
15 blue leged hermits (25 new ones as of tonight)
15 margaritas snails
5 nassarius snails
2 red legged scarlets

Am i good? Should i add another type? I've been looking to order about 15 "Cerith snails" for the past two weeks, but my LFS hasn't had them, yet so i'll keep trying.

AM I okay though? I seem to have constant blooms of cyanobacteria

Tank been running for almost 3 months now.

Thnx

Hey Spick

I think your list for cleanup crew is good, however I would be just as concerned with your parameters and fixing the source of the algae. Since you are 3 months into your tank you could very well still be in your cycling process. What is your water parameters? have you tested ammonia, nitrites, nitrates? If so whats the results? Are you using RO or RO/DI water for your water changes and topoff?

Mary @ Seacrop has a very fair price on a small cleanup crew.
