I have a 55 gal tank which was started on January 3rd. I added 40 lbs of live sand, 20 lbs of regular sand, and 10 lbs of GARF grunge. I also have 50 lbs of aragocrete rock (not live). I saw just a tiny bit of brown on the surface of the sand and added 5 red leg hermits, 5 blue leg hermits, 1 Margarita snail, 2 Nassarius snails, and 2 astrea snails on the 17th. Am I suppose to be seeing some kind of algae growth cause I'm not seeing any signs of life growing on anything...? Also, my nitrates are high--should I be running my skimmer?
