What to Add?

I know its a FOWLR tank but I thought I still needed a cleanup crew? If a fish dies they usually eat it up, clean the sand and glass. I know now there is nothing in the tank to make it filthy but when should I start to get a cleanup crew. I was thinking sand sifting starfish, crabs, and snails especially 1 Nass snail.

When a fish dies in your tank you should take it out, that goes for a reef tank too. What happens in a reef tank is people can't get at the fish, because of the rocks and corals, and they let the crabs eat the fish. You're also going to have larger fish, than most people have in a reef tank, and it's better to remove the fish then to let crabs eat it, as it could mess up your tank.

If you don't have enough food for your inverts to eat they'll die, so it's probably best right now not to add any.

First Fish entering tank...

My 120gal is setup and cycled for over a month FOWLR I just added snails/crabs and just added a Coral beauty and a Naso Tang that are doing wonderful. What can I add next? Thanks

I would leave them for a while and then add. Maybe wait a few weeks. If you start adding them all at once and you happen to get a virus you chance lossing all your fish.

I understand I should wait a few weeks before I add any more any suggestions as to what to add next? Thanks

Since I have a Nso will it be ok to add a powder blue and Gold Rim Tnag togather or will they fight the Naso?
