Cleaner crew??

Just did my parameters, is my tank ready for a cleaner crew?
Ammonia= 0
pH=8.0
Nitrates=8
Nitrites=0
Salinity=1.026

It has been cycling for about 7 weeks with live rock. Water is crystal clear

Yeah with your parameters as above, I'd say your good to go with a cleaner crew, a quick water change will probably rid those nitrates as well
