Since you have like 20-30ppm and you should want it between 0-10ppm (I am assuming you are using API), so I think you can do like 10-20% water change in every couple of days till you get your desired level and then can move to weekly.

I don't think you have to add hermits any time soon. I added my cuc (just two turbos) after like 3/4 weeks of the tank running and when the rocks were filled with diatoms.

Plus keeping hermits is a debatable topic too.

I think you don't have to worry about cuc right now since most probably they will just starve to death if there is no algae/leftover food.
