Fish and shrimp-Float in water for 15mins.( Temp acclamation)
Water acclamation-Fish and shrimp 2hrs. Keep shrimp seperate from fish.
To be honest with you I just float the snails for 10mins. and drop them in. No problems yet.

Go for 20 nassarius snails if your not goin to have hermits.
I would get like 3 or 4 turbos they reccomend 1 per 5 gallons.

But I don't want to do them all today, i was thinking the bare minimum, and waiting as long as it takes to add the next load of livestock. I only have a 20 high, and I do not want to crash my system by adding too much at once, thanks for the opinions, but i would like to know from a social aspect, what should I go buy today?

Start with the clean-up crew. Once you have that settled, then go with the fish. IMO
Inverts don't really have a bio-load, so you can add them all at once.
