Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am very new to marine fishkeeping. I have a 35ltr/10 gal setup. It is a biube tank that i have converted to saltwater. I use RSO (i think) water that i buy from my local fish shop. It will be a fish only tank which i have stocked with cured live rock. It has been running for about 4 weeks and it currently houses 3 hermit crabs and 2 snails. The ammonia spike has been present for about 2 weeks with now signs of change. Has anyone any idea how long it should take to drop back to 0 to complete the first stage of my tanks cycle?
I was advised to add clean up crew by my local fish shop but since viewing other posts i an now worried that with the ammonia spiking for this long they may come to some harm. However all looks well on the face of it.
Any advice or pointers in the right direction are greatly welcomed and appreciated.
