FINAL CYCLING UPDATE
I want to apologize for the few boring previous updates but I think the tank is finally there! Parameters today:
pH-8.0
Ammonia-0.0ppm
Nitrites-0.0ppm
Nitrates-10.0ppm
SG-1.0245
Salinity-33
CLEAN UP CREW
1 turbo snail
2 astraea snails
??
?1 hermit?
Well that's my initial plan for a clean up crew. I'm leaning towards astraea snail just because I think the turbos will get bigger than I want although overall I've read turbos do a better cleaning job. I really cant decide on if I want any hermits, how many, what kind, or if they would help the tank. I've read that they can become more of a nuisance than and algae eater and turn on corals, small fish, and beneficial inverts. but I've also heard good things about them and i love watching them move around the tank. So I am really hoping you all can help me make a decision on that matter. The plan is to head to great white tomorrow or friday
One last thing, should I try to raise my pH or is 8.0 fine?
