I have a 120 gal tank with about 150 lb. rock. I bought mostly base rock which was just Florida reef coral skeletons and two large (20 lb. total) live rocks from the LFS. After chemistry started settling out and all of the rock was dusted with brown from what I assume was diatoms, I ordered a clean up crew from Reeftopia. They've been in the tank for almost one week and the rocks are just about the same pristine white that I started with.
Did I get the cleanup crew too early?
Will they starve? Or better yet, until I'm absolutely certain that the bad parts of the cycle are done and before I get any fish, is there something I should be giving the crabs and snails to tide them over?
Thanks in advance.
