right now my 100g tank is empty and i plan on adding 2 clownfish(stupid nemo movie got my family dead set on getting nemo) and am unsure on what else to add.

i really need a good clean up crew, especially for my sand(olicite) and acrylic as i want to keep things looking nice. crabs i really like, but really need good suggestions as im clueless.

i am thinking bout trying a harlequin tuskfish, and really like the 3 or 4 stripe damsels but am leary of both.

tank is 5'x18" footprint fowlr
45lbs of rock with me adding more when money permits
1-1 1/2" sandbed

sorry bout another stocking thread but this is my first sw tank and i am clueless. was gonna do preds/eels but want a more lively colorfull tank.
 
well the clowns are really going to limit what you can get especially if you were thinking of getting some SW monsters

for clean up i like to keep it simple
maybe something along the lines of like 50 astrea snails and 50 blue leg hermit crabs...
nassarius snails for the sandbed (not a fan of horseshoe crabs) or even fighting conches
and maybe a few (if needed) emerald or sally lightfoot crabs for algea

the tusk fish will eat crustaceans and i believe snails

recommended starter fish
damsels (a 3-4 stripe would be fine as long as it's added later to the tank, and not the first fish in there)
clowns
gobies
blennies
cardinalfish
jawfish
serranids (dwarf sea bass)
grammas
firefish
dartfish
