Nitrite question

Okay I'll make sure to consult with atleast you after I test so I can find out what I need to do.

What would a good cleanup crew consist of? Right now I have 1 astrea(sp) snail?
 
I like snails...ceriths would be good for a 10g, maybe a nassarius or two. I'm a fan of the black foot turbos as well. Once your tank has cycled you'll be able to better define what clean up crew you need based on what issues you're trying to clean up.
 
I do believe my tank is cycled. Considering the Ammonia is now 0 and trates are 15ppm. The only thing is trites are about 4ppm. Are there any crabs that are safe for a reef setting? I know hermits are little terrorists so they are out of the question.
 
Yes, there are filter feeders crabs. Porcelian and Anemone crabs (actually two different kinds although their names are often interchanged) are both filter feeders. I have a blog post about my porcelain crab Ming: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/blog.php?b=23

Okay well I'll see what my LFS has in or can get in. I live in a small town of 70,000 people so there is only 1 lfs but he has amazing stock. Thanks Grins
