When to add Cleaner Shrimp?

[jaydubh11]

I just finished cycling my 20g Nano. I have part 1 of my clean-up crew (6 Cerith/3 Nassarius Snails) and I will be adding part 2 (Trochus) next week. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to add a Cleaner Shrimp any time soon to get some detritus in there.

FYI - I have 20 pounds LR/30 pounds LS

Once your parameters are stable, you should be able to add a cleaner.

I'd add the snails first and keep testing the parameters.

Best of luck,

Yeah wait till parameters are stable then get one they are excellent critters but will steal food from some corals and anenomes
