Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi All
I was just wondering if what I have in my tank is normal because for the last few weeks, the only color I see is brown.
It's been over two months since I first started to cycle the tank and in that time, my dry rock and live sand have completed cycling, I think. I have 0 ammonia and nitrites, and about 20ppm of nitrates (probably from the dead snails). I got 5 hermit crabs, 5 cerith snails and 5 nassarius snails at my LFS when the nitrites hit zero.
My crabs have eaten 3 nassarius and 2 cerith snails and I'm wondering is it because my tank isn't finished cycling? Everything's brown... no green anywhere. Are the inverts getting hungry?
Thanks for any help.
