Hi everybody! I just picked up a used, but running, tank this weekend. When I brought it home I left the sump full of the water is had in it, and about 10 or so gallons left in the tank. When i got it home I mixed up a bunch of Instant Ocean salt and filled the tank from the tap just to get it running and keep the live rock, well, live i guess. Anyway, I started seeing polyps i believe on one particular rock with were cool and then this Aiptasia i thought was cool also... ends up being not cool. So I got a few snails in there and was wondering if adding Peppermint Shrimp would be ok to do first. I'm prolly not ready for fish yet and i still need to get my testing supplies for the water condition, but off hand if there weren't any fish in there before could the tank be cycled? I don't think it's making much waste if any at this point. Either way I'm going to get the water tested tomorrow and just need to know if it's cool to just have the shrimp to start out with to take care of the Aiptasia and what to feed the shrimp if i get them. Thanks! :Cheers:
