Yeah, I am in no hurry. I was really just surprised at the low ammonia reading. It may still shoot up there. I was going to let it run for two to three weeks without doing anything to it. Then I will maybe get some snails and hermits from Reeftopia.

Still haven't set up a lot of the equipment. I am not sure I am going to use this sump. It's pretty, but I am not sure I like the way it works. I may make my own out of glass. I could use a good DIY project for my thread anyway. Right Chuck?

Cuddle sent me back with some oysters or clams on a rock and they died, and I have an ammonia reading of 0 but if I pull that rock out of the fuge, we need to evacuate the house!
