when you go to get fish, should you only get one? thats all im planing to do, but wen i go to marine stores i just fall in love with all of the fish there,lol. im going saterday to get a new perc and some sand.

hey, is 45 hermits and 10 snails to much for a 75 gal?
cuz i got that and there everywere in my tank, like my whole tank is like moving, and its kinda ugly

If the hermits are medium sized, then 10 is plenty. I have a 75 gallon, too. If they are small/ tiny, then I would say 25 is a good solid number. I also believe that you currently have the perfect amount of snails.

Resist impulse buying.Do your homework on what fish will get along.Just because you fall in love at first sight,doesn't mean your love will last.Or be compatible.

I don't think it's too much if you have a full reef....depends on how much live rock you have. I personally prefer to have more snails than hermits because the hermits like to kill the snails for their shells.

I'd get atleast 20-30 snails and about 10-20 hermits. All a matter of preference and like I said it depends on how much live rock you have. You could always throw some in the sump too. (make sure passages are screened to prevent any unwanted critters clogging up your return pump.

yea, i know, ive reaserched all my fish. just if i see one that i was going to get on later.. i might be tempted... so would it b fine too get 2? because the closest LFS is over an hour away, so i go like 1 time every 3 or 4 months, cuz we have a ford f350.. and gas these days...

I have around 70 in my display. I don't have much algae that grows on my glass so I only have two mexican turbos. How much sand and LR do you have?
