Thinking about getting this, what do you guys think?
30 Dwarf Ceriths
12 Nassarius
12 Florida Ceriths
9 Assorted Hermits
11 Nerites
1 Chiton and 2 Limpets
1 Emerald Crab

I have a 37 gallon tank with about 45lbs of live rock. Bare bottom. No current clean up crew, 2 clown fish, eventually will get corals (probably soft to start out with). 10 gallon sump with protein skimmer no refugium.
 
You could go with or without the limpets and chiton. I do feel that emerald crabs can be a danger for small coral polyps though; just my experience. I would also go with just crabs or just snails too. I keep extra shells in my tanks but the crabs still kill the snails.

I got an Emerald Crab as part of my first CUC and I had to trade him in since he would nip at my purple firefish. He was very aggressive, but that's just MHO. Yes you would need sand for the nassarius snals, they are sand shifters.
 
Limpets can attack your corals. They say that they are hit or miss as far as eating them, but why take the chance.
 
I would get a turbo or two, ever since i took them out of my reef tank, they've been destroying algae in my other tanks, but ive noticed so e more algae growth in my 20.
