Time For Hermits n Snails?

[Tito2491]

I hav a 10 gal reef tank that has been cycling for a week , i heard all these stories about algae outbreaks , when should i be able to put snails or reef hermits?

Do you have live rock? Is it cured? Have you seen any ammonia or nitrite spikes.

Wait until ammon and nitrites hit zero and do a water change to reduce nitrates then add your cleanup crew.

but don't add too many clean up crew members because a new tank won't have a ton of algae for the little guys to eat.

yup , the live rock is cured , my amonia and nitrate were not too high but werent 0 but i did a water change and fixed that problem , thanx for the info
