My tank finished cycling about a week ago, and I'm wondering it there's enough algae to start adding my clean-up crew (I already have 2 cerith snails).

I'm thinking of adding:
3 trochus snails
1 nassarius snail
3 more cerith snails
maybe a blue-leg hermit crab?

Is the diatoms enough for all of what I'm planning? It’s have a few dots in the tank

There is no food yet but trust me, in the coming months there will be plenty. Great time to start adding copepods though. They will help clear your diatoms quicker.
 
Amazing thank you! And any types of lives copepods would work?
Dinkin’s Aqautics has a fantastic blend and their customer service is second to none!
