    Add some mini nassarius as well. Love the planaxis. They are also super tiny. The periwinkles are nice and small too. I have specimens I got for him 4ish years ago.

    That list looks nice.

    Yes, I have. It's not like a terrible diatom bloom but most certainly.

    I would let it si for a long time before putting anything in. You don't want any troubles.

    You don't want to let a tank sit too long after its cycled. It needs an ammonia source to continue to feed the biological filter that was just built.
