alienup Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 when cycling is done you can add them all(after aclamating them) of if you dont want to spend the $ you can add alittle of each then add more over time... also it depends on how much live rock you have you should have about 24-34lb Link to comment

Spliffstar Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 i'd wait till the nitrates come down a bit... u really only need about 1 cuc member per gallon imo... Its all up to you as far as cuc.. i like hermits too, but some people dont like them at all.. Blue leg and scarlet hermits both stay small and clean well. My advice is to get inverts that dont get too big... Big = clumbsy, and they will knock over rocks, corals, etc... For that reason i wouldn't recomend the turbo, they are good cleaners but they get huge for a nano.. ..i definately recomend a shrimp because the will eat alot of the excess food you put in..plus there cool... the best cleaner i ever had was a green emerald crab.. But i got rid of him because he ate a fish.. Link to comment
