Cleanup Crew Recommendations - 9 Gal Nano

[topshotta]

What would you recommend me add for cleanup to my 9 gallon nano. About 1 week ago I added 6# of cured rock from Bali to the tank. I've been monitoring the water this whole week and have not seen any bit of cycle whatsoever. I tested again last night and Ammonia is 0, Nitrite 0 and Nitrate 0. I picked up 2 blue leg hermit crabs from the local shop up the street, but tomorrow I'm going to Salty Critter in Vermillion - I plan on getting some additional live rock, maybe a small frag and some cleanup crew. Any suggestions - looking for a nice variety?

Slow down.

If you're adding more rock, it may not be all the way cured (no matter what the LFS says) and could add amonia. So i would either get a tiny cleanup crew (i'd say about 4 cerith snails or something like that) or not get any cleanup crew and/or corals and get the live rock. Either way, i would not add corals just yet.

Throw some food in the tank and see if it causes a spike first before you do anything tho.

Give it another week at least.
