Ive just finished cycling my tank and im at 10 for nitrates. My pH is 8.4 and salinity is 1.023. I have a bit of algea, and i cycled with live rock and 3 dead snails. should i put in a aglea eating snail and a nassarius snail or cerith snail? To clean up tank a bit? In otherwords, should they be the first addition?

How long ago did your cycle start? what is your ammonia reading?

How did the snails die? Bump up the salinity if you plan on keeping inverts and corals..
