Hey guys, sorry for the long delay, been a bit busy with work lately.

But today was day 6 that the tank has been up and running.

I did a 20% water change and everything seems to be going great.

I also just did some water test and here are the results.

Nitrites - 0
Nitrates - 0
Ammonia - 0
PH - 8.0
Calcium - 260 ppm

The only thing I noticed a little off int he tank is the algae on the liverock, but I was told thats only normal.

So now I was thinking it's time to introduce a cleaning crew, to take care of the algae problems, and give some life to the tank.

This is where I'd like to ask for your opinions, what should I get and what quantity?

Remember it's a 5 gallon tank.

I was also wondering, will the snails crawl out of the tank since there is no lid?

might also be a good time to invest in some of the excellent reef books out there.

nope they wont crawl out. and if you really want it to look like a really nice reef id go with maybe 3-5 chestnut cowries or 1-2 tiger cowries. and 5 or more scarlet hermit crabs.

and if you dont care about them looking nice then 5 or more normal hermits 2 turbo snails.
