Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi,
I am setting up my first Salt water tank, 40 Gal, 5pounds of live rock.
I've had it setup for like 12 days and am waiting for it to cycle.
The first 7days I had 1 Damsel 5 tiny hermit crabs and 1 snail.
The Damsel has since died, my question is... Will my tank continue to cycle without the Damsel?
I've tested the levels, I do have ammonia I cant tell if they are still rising... (have only had test kit 4days) ... Will the crabs/snale continue to raise the levels? I've been throwing a little food in their in hope to also raise the levels.
Also is there any way to speed the cycle process up?
Thanks
