Default How long should I wait?

HMy 180 gl tank has completed its cycle! Ammonia, nitrites, nitrates all at 0 for a week now. I have diatoms and green algae has started to show up so I have added 25 snails. How long should I wait to transfer fish, inverts (shrimp and crabs) and corals from my 55 gl tank over? I also have a clam, I know they need more established systems, so I'm worried about transfering him. I have used water from the 55 to complete a water change on the 180 but its such a difference in systems I'm sure its had little impact. All suggestions welcome!

I transferred my 90 into the 180 the day I filled it, clam included. If you've finished cycling, today is probably good

That the problem with being self employed boss dos'nt mind when you leave to do fish stuff. But productivity goes down
