what raises your bioload?
Do snails and crabs add to your bioload at all?
Im running a 72g bowtank with a 30g sump/fuge. 90lbs of LR
The tank cycled in about 2 weeks.
I added 4 zebra hermits, 4 Astrea snails, and 1 emerald Crab.
All my parameters were good except the nitrates were 30. They said that was normal to be that high at the end of my cycle, so i did a 20g water change before putting the inverts into the tank. My question is how much of a bioload do these guys add to the tank?
