Allright, here we go:
I've got a 20 gallon long tank with ~30 lbs. of lr that I put in about 3 weeks ago. I think that it is now cycled, but I am unsure. My ammonia levels look just about zero, my nitrites are zero, and I have a small amount of nitrates. My salinity is 1.023, temp 82 degrees.
One of the reasons that I think that my tank is cycled is a sudden multiplication of the number of snails that are in my tank (I think that I had some that hung on the lr for the ride). At first count about 3 weeks ago, I had 4 tiny ones. Now it looks as if I have about 13 tiny ones. What is my next step? Should I go to my local store with a water sample to make sure that my tank is cycled? And if it is, what kind of clean up crew should I get? I'm only really interested right now in eventually getting a clownfish... Help!
