Question about buying from swf.com

i was thinking about buying a reef cleanup crew from them for my 75 gal. Heres the problem. After cycling you are supposed to add slowly . I would need the 100.00 package, but not at once. I keep reading posts about adding things slowly, no way i can add this many crabs, snails etc to a newly cycled tank, but for free delivery i would need to order 79.00 worth. soooooooooo my question is, can I buy whole amount needed for the free shipping, and put some of the crew in a QT tank and add slowly maybe afew every couple days? Any other ideas?

You can add snails, crabs, shrimp all at onse, there not hard on your bio-load, its the fish you have to add slowly. todd

Why not order the 50.00 package and another fish or two or maybe some food or other item you may need in the future?
Ditto on what Todd said about adding them all at once. It shouldn't be any problem. Where at in PA are you anyway?

Thanks! i thought I had to add crew slowly also, maybe i will just order the 50.00 first though, and my first few fish. train, i am about 25 miles from philly, eagles stadium. We go into the city alot, not as much as when we were 12 miles closer though. I lived in West Chester, most of my life but just relocated to coatesville, near lancaster county if you know where that is.
