Adding clean up crew and fish

[bobbyg04]

Hey guys! I was wondering since I have most of my clean up crew ( 10 snails and 2 emerald crabs) in my 32 gallon biocube and I wanted to add a cleaner shrimp as well should I add a few hermit crabs as well and would it be okay to add the cleaner shrimp along with the hermit crabs at the same time? The second part of my question would be also how long would I have to wait to add 2 clown fish as well? Thanks in advance !
( I had a decent amount of GHA but once I added the cleaner crew I have now I have very little along the glass )

You are fine adding the cleaner shrimp and hermits. 60 days is a safe point to start adding fish, check you ammonia levels before adding the fish. I usually add a cromis of a damsil and if it makes it 2 weeks then you would really know if you can add clowns. Clown are hardy and can withstand a lot

60 days after cycle ?

60 days is probably the estimated cycle time.

60 days after the cycle. Take your time, that is the game of reefing. Let say you put in a couple of frostbite clowns too soon and they did not make it, that would be very disheartening would it not?
