My 100g CLEAN UP CREW!

[ClownieTang]

Can you guys help me think up a clean up crew for a 100g reef tank that has recently finished its cycle?
Here is my list so far
-5 Large Tongan Nassarius Snail
-15 Cerith Snail
-5 Banded Trochus Snail
-1 Blue Tuxedo Urchin

I dont want 100's of snails.. $200 just for snails? no thank you..
Do blue tuxedo urchins eat Diatoms?

Later on you will wish you had all those snails. You really do need a bunch of them to take care of the tank. And as for diatoms, they will have gone away in a couple of weeks after your cycle ends, no need to worry about those.

+1 a good, properly stocked clean up crew is an important part of the marine aquarium. The diatoms are part of the "growing pains" of a maturing tank. They should fade with the age of the system (as silicates are consumed ).
