awesome, should I start with the whole clean up grew in one shot? Get the http://www.jlaquatics.com/static/livestock/janitors.htm package #5 or is that too much to add at once. I do have a fair bit of brown algae forming on my glass and substrate now and a bit on the LR

I didn't see any spikes, either, when I set up my tank. I'm personally not a huge fan of big cleaning crew packages. I would just buy a dozen or so snails and let 'em go nuts. If you develop a hair algae problem, maybe someone can loan you their sea hare (mine's on loan right now
 )I personally can't imagine having 70 hermit crabs in my tank! That's a little insane. They're not the most delicate creatures, and the one that I have in my tank has knocked over its fair share of frags! Anyway, just my two cents' worth! P.S. Like Johnny Reefer said, go slowly

The brown algae is normal for a new tank. That should subside on it's own in time.
I agree....70 hermits is insane, as is 60 snails, IMO. I've seen a few times now where a desire/advice has been indicated to introduce a clean up crew first, before any other livestock. I don't get this. Why? What is there to clean up? I'd start with a few small, easy fish first. JMO.

yeah sounds pretty reasonable, I already put in 3 small (1inch) yellow tailed damsels for cycling, and now Illl introduce a smaller snail package with 2 small clowns. like the package 2 about 30 snails. SHouldn't be too much of a shock to the system should it? I've had the damsels in there for about 2 weeks
