Default DSB - when to add detrivores?

Detrivores don't need much food.
Can you give us more details on this setup so that we can better answer
your question?


100 gallon tank with probably 130# of rock and 6 in sand bed. It's been
set up for a year, but I recently washed and sifted all the sand so
everything is below 1.5 mm right now.

I have 1 blue legged hermit, turbos, 2 conchs, 1 gray angel, naso tang,
mated pair of tomatoes, 2 BTA's, Sgt major (2 inches), 2 damsels.

The fug is still full of detritous, so there are still plenty of
nutrients around. However, there has been a lot less slime on the glass.
