Someone told me to supplement the clean up crews with algae waffers?(Pardon Spelling) Thoughts?

honestly before you start adding livestock i would look into how your going to remove nutrients like phosphates and nitrates, gfo is alot easier to apply now then when there is livestock for the first time. gfo on a new tank while the phos is high can add a bit of stress to your living friends

get yourself a good test kit for phosphates and nitrates, once they are controlled you can continue on with livestock , and corals even.

fishy fishy is right youll need a fairly good size CUC for a tank that large , what you put into it will depend on what you like and what you plan to keep long term

You could... but a more natural approach should be just fine. Some will die off, but most will stay and be a vital part of cleaning up the junk, un eaten food and algae that grows naturally. There truely shouldn't be a need to suppliment their food.
