If those are your params, you're still cycling (you probably know that) and I don't see any reason to do a WC on a cycling tank. let the bacteria...
Same here. I do have to dose a little to bring it up to par, but since I daily dose anyway, this isn't an issue and still more cost effective than...
Good luck. Oh, phosphate... I wouldn't get it for a brand new tank but you'll want it down the road. Phosphate tests aren't the easiest to read for...
no idea on size of your tank, but 20-24 snails is only a "Load of snails" if your tank is 5 gallons or less. I keep about 200 or more in my 55...
my purple hammer reacts to pH changes when they happen. API pH test kit isn't really a test IMO. Its color scale mine as well just be multiple...

or, we could continue the conversation within the relevant thread... I'd like to hear her response rather than you trying to shut her down......
whenever my T5 bulbs get about 8 months old, I have algae in same spot always show up. I keep 2 hermit crabs and a bi-color blenny for these...
so, you've already started a cycle and you need to play that out... probably. but honestly, you could have just done a straight transfer. new sand,...
oh bummer. good luck :-/
kind of abusing John's niceness there aren't we? You can do that, but I won't suggest it to folks... And that doesn't translate to all species, he...
go online. i agree john at reeflcleaners.org can't be beat. in my 55 gallon i have around 200 snails (mostly dwarf cerith) of 6 different species....
