Hey guys, I’m brand new to saltwater aquariums. I have a pico sexy shrimp tank that is built into my land hermit crab enclosure. The tank has been cycling for 6 and a half months, the sexy shrimp were introduced a month ago.
The other day I noticed tiny critters crawling around and practically overnight all of the algae (there was quite a bit due to high light levels) has disappeared. There was a slight spike in ammonia and I completed a water change and all the parameters are back within range.
I want someone to tell me I’ve acquired the world’s best clean up crew and not that I have a pest problem. I’m worried for my sexies.
