I wanted to see how long people wait until they add their DSB clean-up crew?
**Not snails like trochus and turbo's, but DSB clean-up crew like Nassarius snails and other DSB cleaners.

I'd like to mention that I transfered all my livestock from another tank to this one, so bioload and feeding is normal from the start.
It's been fully running for 3 days now.
So if this was your situation as well I'd really appreciate your opinions.

With nassarius, I dont think it matters. I'd wait a little while for a conch though.
