Hello all,
I need some input.:) I have a new 60 gal tank with water and a dsb. I have 75 lbs of Figi live rock arriving on Sat. What I need to know is can I also put in a clean up crew with the live rock or do I need to wait until the live rock has no die off left??? Appreciate any input. I'm not new to the hobby, but I have never cycled a new tank with live rock before.

When your tank has finished cycling and your ammonia, nitrites, are both 0 (zero) and your nitrates are low, I would recommend a water change, and then you can add a cleanup crew. Add your rock now and let your tank finish cycling, or if it has cycled let your live rock cure a little more and check your levels against what possible die off could occur.
I have recieved the scarlet hermits from SWF.COM and have had great success with them in my tank.
