I HAVE BEEN CYCLING FOR 4 WEEKS NOW, STARTED W/ LIVE ROCK, AFTER TWO WEEKS ADDED 5 DAMSELS. AMMONIA AND NITRITE HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY SPIKED AND HAVE SETTLED AT ZERO. NITRATE IS AT .20PPM. I DO HAVE PLENTY OF DIOTOMS, MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I ADD CLEAN UP CREW I.E. HERMIT CRABS, SNAILS, BEFORE MY INITIAL WATER CHANGE OR AFTER? ALSO, AM I REDY FOR FISH?
55GAL BOW
CRUSHED CORAL
60# LIVE ROCK
2 EHEIM CANISTERS
1 MAXI JET PH
5 DAMSELS ASSORTED

Water change before and
if your tank has settled at 0 and remained there for a week or 2, yes it is complete and you could add some fish slowly
