Hi, All,

I've been reading for a few months, and relying on a lot of advice here - I have an LED Biocube 32, Rock and sand which have now been successfully cycled - Set up Oct 24, did a frozen shrimp cycle, and my current values are:
Ammonia - 0, Nitrite - 0, Nitrate - 10, Salinity - 1.026, PH - 8.2, Temp - 77F

I think I'm ready to start with a CuC!

Currently, I have just a small amount of visible algae, and have not invested in a quarantine tank yet.

My plan: set up a 5 or 10 gal QT with water from my first water change, using some media from my established tank in a hang on filter. QT the CuC for . . . how long?

I'd appreciate advice on the number and mix of my CuC - Hermits, shrimps, snails - how many of each?

I've read so many differing opinions, would truly appreciate your advice.

Thanks, unfortunately, I don't know how to make the photo file small enough to share.
