Aquarium Advice Regular
My tank has been set up for 3 weeks. I have a 55 Gal tank with 3-4" DSB. I put in 10 lbs of LFS store LR to cycle the tank before I ordered from LR.com. The LR has been in the tank for 2 weeks now. The LR is starting to look like it has gone about 3 days without shaving. It looks like it has Redish Purple whiskers growing out of it. Some as individuals and some in groups. They look like they are about 1/4" long. My PH is coming around since I put in the LR (8.0 - 8.2) but my Ammonia is still real high. My LFS said that the Ammonia is still too high to put ANYTHING into the tank yet. Is there anything I can do before the LR gets to hairy?
I am running a HOB filter w/ carbon.
Can some snails or cleaner shrimp take the higher Ammonia levels?
Thanks
