Hey and welcome! How long has the tank been set up? If the shop tested the water what did they say?

Welcome to Reef2Reef! It's up to you if you want to add snails now or not. Personally, I would wait until you start seeing algae appear.

Turbo snails are great for everything and eat gha. Red or blue leg hermit crabs for clean up and than I personally like peppermint shrimp for aptasia and maybe a fire shrimp because they look cool :)

Ok it looks like I'm bound to go to shop again I will see what they got can I get two more fish do you think or maybe stay cool for a while
