Hey all.
Relatively new to saltwater. I purchased a used 34gal aio just over 2 weeks ago.It had green hair algae pretty bad. I scrubbed it off the 2 largest rocks. The tank came with and still has a domino damsel, a clown, 5 snails, 1 emerald crab, 2 coral frags, and an anemone.
I've been testing the water and had some great help in the new forum. With all the testing I keep seeing ammonia mostly very little nitrates 5 or less. The more I dive into the forums the more I'm seeing I can't trust the version of the test I have.
I don't think I did anything that would have completely crashed the tank. The inhabitants for the most part look healthy to me. I'd love a second set of eyes to look at these pics and tell me if things look good or bad or on the way. My nem has been on the move the last 3 or so days and that just makes me worry. The palyzoa looks like it's got a bud starting. The mushrooms all open pretty big. The emerald crab seems very nocturnal. Hides a lot.
I'd also love suggestions on additions for the cuc. I think all 5 snail are trochus. I've only seen the crab cleaning sand once. Mostly just want the reassurance that I've got a cycled tank not a crashing one and API ammonia test is not accurate.
