hey guys, my tank has been cycling for 2 weeks and i was just wondering when is it ok to add my cleanup crew? thanks

whenever the cycle is complete, algae should begin to grow. Add them then

I second what paulcoates said if thats what you are wanting to hear. Is there something else you want to know or were you just looking for a 2nd opinion?

In a week, my new tank will be cycling, i'm going to add a hermit or two probably 2 weeks later, so i think you'll be fine as long as you have some kind of biological filtration that has cycled

To be on the safe side you could wait a week after the cycle is complete. Test the parameters again ..... if ammonia and nitrites are still good, add the clean up crew.
