What are you running for a skimmer, lights, mechanical filters ect..

I agree with Ian you need to introduce corraline into the tank by seeding the tank with a nice piece of live rock I think the best way is to scrape the corraline off the rock into the tank. I started mine by scraping a few flakes off a snail.. But this would be the last of my worries first things first feed the hermits. Get some frozen cubed food and toss a couple in there so they can eat they will scavage up the food and eat it. Once you add fish the hermits will eat the leftovers. P.s. the nitrates will go down soon and I would use some snails for any algea since hermits cant clean the glass. A small cleaner crew will do the job with a few things Hermits, snails. I keep one huge two inch mexican turbo and ten small snails in my 90 with about 5 hermits.
