We started our tank about 2 months ago. It is 20 gallons, 8 pounds of live rock, filter and protein skimmer. We tested our water weekly for the first 4 weeks and by the 4th week it had seemed to have cycled, I had .25-.50 ammonia which then by the fourth week had gone to zero as did my nitrite and my nitrate was 10. So we started to add fish. We did it weekly, we have two false perculas, one purple psuedochromis and one blue damsel. The I added one mexican turbo snail and 10 hermits. We were waiting to get a brittle startfish and some more hermit crabs and possible small snails if they can be with the turbo mexican snail. Well before i addded more I checked the water and my ammonia spiked again and has not gone down in a week. I don;t know what to do....the fish are doing well, as is the snail. I try to count the hermit crabs but I can't find them all but they may be inside the rock. All the fsh are very active, and eating great. Should I worry? What should I do???
