After several debates, I decided why not start off with a small clean up crew. I'm gonna try to stay away from certain crabs. .. boy I learn my lesson when I had my 12 gl nano. For now I will stick and start off with some snails. Having the advantage of having several LFS around I don't have to break my head searching around or ordering livestock online. I hate paying the overly priced shipping and handling and sometimes it's never WYSIWYG. The only transaction I'll do is maybe local forums.
So getting back to my snails I decided to get the following:
6 astraea snails
6 nassarius snails
1 turbo snail
1 cerite snail (they had ran out but luck I was able to find one) ;-)
So I got home and placed them in a bucket. Lowered the water level to avoid excessive water from the main tank.

I hanged the Accudrip on the tank and let the drip do its job. It only took about 25 min for it to reach the desire volume. I tested the ph and
specific gravity to make sure everything is ok to transfer the snails.
After the transfer it only took a couple of seconds for the snails to start moving. Within minutes the snails where happy and gone there way.
