Hi my name is Justin and im new to the saltwater tank. My mom has one but i want everyones opinion when it comes to this. I just bought a 24 gal nano cube for my new wife since she liked my moms 55 gal tank. It doesnt bother me that i must maintain it because i do enjoy it and we are in the process of started a fish store in our area. But anyways, my tank has been up about 2 weeks and my chemicals/salt has been good about 4 days now. I had so much algae build up that i took my moms conch and big hermit crab and through it in my tank for some cleaning. Well i ordered a bunch of algae eaters off here along with 16 lbs of liverock and 2 clownfish. How long should i wait to put the clownfish in? Should i wait till the tank gets cleaner because we got snails, urchins and hermit crabs and some cleaner clams as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :help:

Is the tank fully cycled? Post your water parameters nitrate,nitrite, ammonia, temp, salinity. The live rock will be uncured since it's shipping to you so you will have to cure it separately or wait another few weeks of it in the tank before adding your clownfish. I would take the conch and hermit out as they aren't really suited for that small of a tank.
