Clean Up Crew

[Thumper]

Am I going overboard here? I have been battling algae for some time now, the Phosban reactor has helped a TON but it's time for a new crew. I currently only have about 8-9 snails and around 20 small crabs to do the cleaning but as of tomorrow I'll have somewhere in the neighborhood of 150-160 snails and crabs. This is what several folks have reccomended with the 300 pounds of lr I have in my 150. I have been putting off adding them as long as I could but it's time to get some help.
My problem isnt one I would consider bad but more than what I want in my tank.

Have you bought them already or are you going to buy. how many snails and how many crabs?

That is a ton of snails and crabs BUT that is a big tank with a lot of rock. I doubt that is overboard. But if it is you'll soon have them starving like mine did. But with that much rock and that big of a tank I bet you will be fine.
