Diatoms on rocks

[Michael v]

I cycled my tank. My perimeters are 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 10 nitrate ph is 8.2 kh 7 salinity 1.025 temperature 77 degrees. I have 11 blue leg hermit crabs and two Trocus snails. I had diatoms on my rocks and a small amount of algae on the back glass. Now after two weeks with my small clean up crew the rock is clean. I’ve been putting a small amount of crab food once every third day and a small pice of dry sea weed for the snails. Do I need to worry about having to cycle the tank again? My crew looks healthy and not killing each other. I’m I worrying to much about nothing.

Yep! Sit back and enjoy! You’ve been so patient... it’s paying off!

No need to worry about the main cycle again. It will cycle each time you add 1 or 2 fish and feed them. (very small cycle, but not to worry). You will be adding more nutrients so more bacteria will need to grow to take care of it.
