Acclimation of clean up crew??

[bjgwilliam]

My tank has finished its cycle and is ready to add the clean up crew. I am heading to the LFS this afternoon to purchase them. I plan on using the drip method to acclimate the bunch but am unsure how long to drip them... Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance...:notsure:

I acclimated my crabs for an hour and only temp acclimated my snails.

I would do a 2 hour acclimation of the clean-up crew with a slow drip.

I read that you just finished cycling your tank, and you are already getting a clean up crew? Am I the only one to wonder, but is there anything in there yet for them to clean up? :notsure:
You wouldn't want them to starve to death

there is plenty for them to clean up with all the diatoms and algae from the cycle
i would drip them for two hours

Yeah, this is plenty of time to get the clean-up crew. Most people get them after their ammonia and nitrite hit 0 and they start to get nitrates so I applaud your effort to wait even longer.
