Well I just bought my clean up crew. 5 margarita snails, 7 reef hermit, and 5 other snails I have no idea their name.

I have a question about a clean up crew. I have had my tank up for a month and have two blue/green chromis that I put in a week ago. When would it be ok to put a clean up crew in? Also suggestions on type and number of clean up crew for a 20gal tank with live rock and sand?

I was thinking about those. I want snails but no idea what kind to get. Also how many of each is a good starting point?

Well tank appears to be cycled cause my levels are within range after water change. I went ahead and grabbed two green/blue chromis'. I'm going to see how it goes for awhile. Now I need some input for a good clean-up crew? Also how long should I wait before putting them in?

Ok sounds good. I think I'm going to wait for my weekend to do it so I have more time. Thanks

Ok I'm new to this. What is hard cycling?

Ok. I have a bottle of ammonia. How much do I put in so I don't over do it

Ok I'm kinda at a loss. I've had my 20g cycling for two weeks. I just checked my levels and it's saying Ph-7.8 Am-0 Nitrites-0 Nitrates-10 All of these are done with the API test. I have 20lbs live rock and 20lbs live sand in my tank. Is it possible to cycle that fast? If so how do I do the...

I've been looking up the Tao lights and think that's probably the way I'll go. Thanks everyone for their input on the lights.

I have a 20gal. I want something that I can use for coral but a lot less expensive

Those are nice but way too expensive for me

What are some good lights to get so I can read up on them? I would prefer something that can be clamped to the tank because I don't really want to drill holes into the ceiling or wall.

Also with this size of tank is a cleaning crew good. If it is what kind? I really like snails and hermit crabs. How many would be good and what kind?

Thanks everyone for the information. How long do you normally wait after the tank is cycled can you add corals?

On the rock I'm a little confused. Should I put the rock against the glass or keep away from the glass?
