In a 55g I have 2 nassarius,2 bumble bees, one tiny hermit, a tuxedo urchin, a starfish( upon more research probably wasn't a good idea) and an emerald crab. I know I need a lot more, but how many and what? I seem to battle algae issues, but I think the tank is cycling still. I was told I could transfer everything from the 30g and it wouldn't recycle( which doesn't seem to be the case)

Get a few more nassarius snails and you'll be set! lol those things are better than turbos in my opinion

When you switched everything over you started a minicycle. Check your parameters make sure your ammonia is 0 if not add prime and do water changes. I would run some gfo/gac. Once your parameters are stable (ammonia 0) add some more snails. I would add some cerith and margarita snails.

I'm going to try and get it tested today( seems one of the reagent vials has disappeared) my last reading a few weeks ago was .2 so I was told to put phosban in a small sock and stuff it in the hob filter. I also cut back feeding( frozen brine) to once daily.Yours PO4 levels? How to set up a saltwater reef aquarium tank- REEFEDITION

I had 2 electric blue legged hermits that I surrendered due to the fact I thought they were after my torch coral, seems they were just scavenging after my Acan had already killed it. They never bothered my snails, but my sand bed was littered with various shells I had added for them.
