When do I add the CUC?

[TexAgReefer]

My tank is a week old. I have 2 clowns. I was wondering when I should add my clean up crew. I realize there isn't anything for them to eat other than uneaten food at the moment but I know detritus is coming soon.

My tank:
75 gal
Trigger Sys 36 sump
Reef Octopus NW110 Skimmer
BRS Deluxe Reactor (Carbon/GFO)
80 lbs dry rock cycled w/ Dr Tim's One and Only

Welcome to R2R!! I typically add a small CUC when I start to get diatoms or other algae. Then, I beef it up in between fish additions.

Welcome to Reef2Reef, did your tank cycle in a week? If so I'd say you are good to go and start adding some now.

A week seems fast unless you have all cured rock just careful adding a lot at once it can be a recipe for disaster

I used Dr Tim's One and Only to cycle the tank. It took 4 days.
