I got my new corner tank cycing for about month now. I started it with a raw shrimp for two weeks till it turned black and took it out. also added 20lbs of seeded lr to the dead rock. here are the water per.
20 nitrate
0 nitrite
240 pm alkalinity
8.0 ph
.25 amonia
They haven't been alot of peaking in these stats I am using soften water from my water softner which then I run it thru a ro system.the tank is now getting a light coat of brown alge the lights are on for 8hrs on a timer. Can I add my clean up crew now? I never did water this way and it's throwing me off:confused:

I suspect that you'll have a green algea bloom coming up pretty soon. Once you start seeing the green algea - add the cleanup critters.
