Howdy,
Brand new to the hobby. Cycling up my first reef tank, JBJ Nano Cube 28g. Live rock and live sand in place for 3 weeks, stable water parameters (Temp-80,pH-8.3,Salinity-1.025,Ammonia-0,Nitrites-0,Nitrates-0,Calcium-420,Alkalinity-12,Magnesium-not added or tested,Phosphate-0.25). I added 6 Ceriths, 6 Blue leg hermits & 6 Nerites after float/temp acclimation. All were very active for 1 day or so, then inactive and for last 3 days and appear dead, no movement. Sand has lots of diatom/micro algae. Bought 3 turbo snails yesterday, drip acclimated them over 2 hours. They are on the bottom of the tank this am with no movement. I'd appreciate your help!!!
