First inhabitants!
Today I got my first creatures in the tank.
1 Astrea Snail
2 Blue Leg Hermits
1 Fire Red Shrimp.
Added Purigen to the HOB.
Acclimated them and so far so good.
My parameters are
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate ~5
Did a pwc this morning of 1/2 Gallon after top off with RO/DI water.
Should I do another pwc or is that alright? I can add a couple drops of Prime too. ???
Thursday my other snails and Macro Algae are coming.
Oh also, I took the Feather and Grape Algae and put a air stone in a vase with some sand and it is sitting under the lamp and next to the tank. They seem alright thus far.
Quick question, how do you keep the snails from crawling out?
