So I’ve got a question.. I have a 55 gallon saltwater aquarium with 20 gallon sump. I neglected the tank for about a two month time frame due to circumstances (not proud of it).. been trying to get it back up and running like it used to. I have 2 clownfish, a royal gramma, coral beauty, 2 chromis, and a Kleins butterfly. My cleanup crew was awful before with only two turbo snails and two emerald crabs. The two turbo snails are no longer in the tank. Would 2 trochas, 3 cerith, 2 nassarius, 2 dwarf hermits, and a cleaner shrimp be a sufficient cleanup crew? That’s with the two emerald crabs already there. And potentially a lawnmower blenny at some point

That cleanup crew sounds pretty solid for a 55 gallon! Trochas and ceriths are great algae eaters and the nassarius will help with detritus. Just keep an eye on your emerald crabs since they can sometimes get aggressive with hermits. A lawnmower blenny would definitely boost algae control, but make

I’m in the exact same situation rn with same setup and trying to get it back together I’m just going to get a small tomini tang to help then give it to my LFS when it gets to big. good luck!
