I have a 90 gal tank with 20 gal sump/refugium. It has about 100 lbs of sand and about 45 lbs of cured live rock. I'm still waiting on my 60 lbs of base rock that I ordered 10 days ago from hirocks.com!!!! Anyway, I started my cycle 2 days ago with 3 shrimp. I tested the water today and found Nitrite @ 5 ppm and Ammonia @ 2.0 ppm.
1. The shrimp are partially decomposed. Should I remove them now that ammonia and nitrite are present or should I let them decompose fully?
2. Should I do a PWC to preserve the life on the LR?
3. I only have LS in the refugium. When should I add the macro algae to the fuge? After the cycle?
Thanks for your help!!
