hey, I was just wondering when is a good time to start adding hermits and snails for clean-up? Should I wait until my tank is fully cycled? My ammonia levels are dropping (down to .25) and a noticable amount of algea has started growing on my lr. Algea colors range dark green, bluegreen, light green, and brown. Think I should add a couple hermits or snails?
thanx

Wait untill your cycle is finished and then start adding inverts (clean up crew). Algae blooms during the cycle and right after the cycle are possible and a part of water chemistry changing.
