What to get?

[squirt_12]

As some of you know I have a 3.5g pico reef tank without any livestock yet. I found a supplier close to me that I can get stuff from. So I need some suggestions on what to get. I need something to clean the sand, rocks, and glass in my tank. I know that ceriths are good but the supplier doesn't have any. What else is good? Snails and crab wise.

astrea snails are algae machines. I have about 15. some do find them hard to breed though

Will one be fine in such a small tank though?

[unleashed]

probably 2-4

[Kuli_Loach]

2-3 snails, 2 hermits, and a peppermint shrimp.

Orange clawed or scarlet reef.
