I have a 20 h that has been running for 20 days now and tank is doing well. I have about 20 pounds of base rock and well be seeding with a few pounds of live rock soon. How long should I wait before adding a clean up crew? If now what should I go with to start? Thank you

Have you had your diatoms bloom yet? (Brown sand looking algae that covers liverock and the sandbed).

Done with the cycle? Nitrites, Nitrates and Ammonia all at zero?

I added my cleanup crew at around the 20 day mark.
I ordered mine from Premium Aquatics and since your in IN you can pick ground shipping and it should get there next day.

I got

10 Baha Hermits
3 Cernith Snails
3 Nerite Snails
1 Margarita Snail
10 Nassarius Snails (Great for the sandbed)
Also pickup some extra shells and toss the in there....

Good luck
