I have had my live rock in the tank for 3 months and the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate spiked and are all back to 0. All other parameters are good.

Tomorrow I am going to make a purchase from liveaquaria and would just like to know if this is enough clean up crew.

10 red tip hermits

20 blue tip hermits

3 emerald crabs

10 zebra hermits

10 nassarius

10 astraea turbo snail

1 arrow crab

It looks like a good cleanup crew to me, but I would worry that maybe there isn't enough algae for them to eat in a 3 month old setup. You may need to put some algae sheets in for them till the algae gets going a little. When I first started my tank a LFS sold me a Lawn Mower Blenny. They never told me it needed lots of algae. Needless to say it starved and I learned a hard lesson about listening to LFS. Best of luck with your new setup! Live Aquaria is a good place to order from. You won't be disappointed!
