Then wait another week to be absolutley sure everything is good and then add a fish or CUC.

your clean up crew has nothing to do with nitrate export

I would like you to do me a favor of you can before you do your water first water change can you test your nitrates there have been post of these high number reading of nitrates right after a cycle which I just do not believe. IMO your nitrates at this stage should be between 0 and 2 mg/L at most

not a problem. My test kits tells you in ppm. What is the conversion to MG/L. But I will post as soon as I get home from work. Any help with a CUC would be greatly appreciated.

hey guys i did a parameter test on sat after adding my CUC.
ammonia 0
nitrite .25
nitrate 5
salinity 1.025
temp. 79-81
i use RO/DI water.
been ghost feeding very little. also i was told that i should blend up some silversides and add to the tank for my hermits so they dont go after my snails. is this true? also i dont know if a snail died or 2 hermits were hungry but i found the hermits digging into one of the shells of my snails... thanks.
