Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have a 28 gallon Via Aqua with 8lbs of cured live rock and 52 lbs of
sand 20 of which is live I had it setup for 4 days and the cycle never started so the lfs store said to put in some fish I added 2 green chromis a week ago and the ammonia and nitrite are still at zero I was wondering when it is going to cycle. For filtration I am using a prizm skimmer and
a penguin 170 will the cartridge in the penguin remove all ammonia or is the tank going to cycle with the cartridge in I am thinking of removing the cartridge since I was only using it to clear up the tank from when I first added water. the chromis are doing fine the ph is 8.2, temp. 78 degrees and ammonia and nitrite are zero. I would like to add some snails and
crabs but dont want to put them in and then have it cycle. I want to also add 2 ocellaris clowns. Any help would be appreciated
