    Can a feather duster worm make it through a cycle?

    I had a feather duster as a hitchhiker and im trying to figure out how my tank is cycling. It should in theory have died? I also just had a diatom bloom.

    How old is the tank--a diatom bloom usually means you are close to the end

    looks like you are getting there but I would give it a little more time before I would call it cycled
