I need help trimming cards or maybe putting more of one or another

I love running {Laboratory Maniac} in mill decks and milling myself.

 {Blighted Agent} plus  {Trepanation Blade} hilarious infecting mill and y no  {Mind Sculpt}? Also {Breaking // Entering} a great card

You should definitely run at least 22 land

That really all depends on the deck.

I run 12 in my artifact deck. it just depends on what's in it. :D

What about {Mind Crank} or {Grindclock}?

I love the hedron crab, but for defenders have you looked at {Fog Bank} and {Doorkeeper}?
Also, although they are bit more expensive,  {Jace, Memory Adept} and {Phenax, God of Deception} MAKE a mill deck, especially the latter if you're running a few defenders.
I also run {Lazav, Dimir Mastermind} as a one-of, last game I ran my mill I had him copy an opponent's {Sunscorch Regent} to his utter dismay! :)

MommaB

I dislike  {Phenax, God of Deception} in a mill deck that isn't based around him he is just to heavily conditional but I do agree memory adept is a milling machine

Although I do think if you want to go the god route I would go BUG and use the crab and Nissa (m15) and be happy lol

Flashley_ska

Yeah with other green and blue/green land fetch badness the crabs do well. Played against a guy running {Primeval Titan}s with them lol. He was only running ug, with heavy blue mill hitters like jace and {Traumatize}.

Myself I've never had a bad time when I got phenax out, not strictly down to size of creatures but number of creatures out, which the list in the OP looks to me like it would fit, the {Wight of Precinct Six} and the  {Consuming Aberration} both work well, as does {Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker}.
