Hello all. I did a fishless cycle (long story) and i bought my first fish about a week ago. My amonia and nutrites are normal, but my nitrates are between 20-40ppm. The only sign of "ugly" is a very light coating of diatoms. I have no need for a clean up crew because theres really nothing for them to clean.
Does the fishless cycle mean i won't have an ugly stage? I really want to add corals i guess im just being impatient.
Also, most of the sand in my tank (biocube 32) is covered by rock. Will this be an issue if/ when i get snails/ crabs? Thanks in advance.
