So today is day 3 with fish and small cleaner crew. All my levels are still at 0. I went to LFS yesterday and had them check the levels too. Every one is doing great. I think the snails I got are astraea and not turbo snails. (thanks to Biffs snail link) They don't do much in the sand but like the glass and the rocks. I only see the hermits once in a while and can never find more than one at a time. I've got 3 snails and 3 hermits. What other cleaner crew should I add. I was thinking maybe an emerald crab or something like that. The diatoms are staring to go away a little. I also noticed that some green spots on my LR that came up a week ago have turned light purple so I guess I've got some coraline growth.
My water got a little cloudy when I cleaned the filter. It's not 100% clear yet and the was 4 days ago. It's gotten better but not crystal clear. Since all my levels are still down should I just let it be or do a small water change.
Also I noticed when reading some older posts that there was a mention of letting your s/w set for few days after mixing before adding it to the tank. Is this right? I bought some premixed s/w at the lfs. When I got home I tested it and it came back at .004. :grumble: So I need to add salt to it. I called them and they'll credit me for the money. I just wanted to let them know they needed to check it.
