Ready for Fish?

[prinny]

We have set up our 120 gallon acquarium. We have live sand and live rock. The nitrate level is at 0. Am I now ready for fish? Should I start with a clean-up crew first or what do you suggest.

i'd get a cleanup crew and detrivore kit first, then after your dets get a chance to establish(norm. about 2 weeks) start adding fish

What would you suggest for a clean up crew?

Double check that your ammonia and nitrite is also 0. Go to a search engine, or check out saltwater, they have a clean up crew. How deep is your sand?

most people like hermits, sanils and shrimp
i have no hemits, but that is just my own preference, they are a good addition in either case, it is all up to you, you can search the web for them they are all over teh net., but i'd check here at swf, nad see what hey may have

I love my scarlett reef hermits,have about 20 in a 72 gallon. never heard bad stuff about them, but have heard that blue legs can get mean from some people. Astrea/Turbo snails good. Nassarius snails for deep sand beds.
