:anxious: darn i was shooting for a week :anxious:

my water levels are as follows Nitrate = 0 -- Nitrite = 0 -- Ammonia = 0 :mrgreen: :lol: :group :yippee artyt :ipeace

but i am still going to wait 3-4 days then should i do a small water change or just add the clean-up crew??

 

[sadielynn]

I would add them by dripping them to the tank the use that as you water change ... like this drip for triple water volume add then run in fresh salt water so it acts as a water change ..at any point now you can add your cleaning crew :mrgreen:

I would go ahead and get into the habit of weekly water changes now. Remember to add livestock slowly allowing your tank to stabilize between additions.

Congratulations.... your almost there......CLEANING CREW time......as skimp said go slow wait a week after your cleaning crew and add a fish then another week and so on so your tank can stabilize........ so im glad you are there......yuuuuuupppppppppyyyyyyyyyy

Your on your way now. You will notice more of an effect on your parameters by the addition of fish, inverts tend to produce less waste. Remain patient and keep your eyes on your parameters like you are doing and you should have your tank stocked the way you want it before you know it.
