       Greetings from North Pole, Alaska

       I have a small home so interested in smaller aquariums. I
       started with Opaes and having great luck with them.  They've
       even had babies; three gallon tank.  I accidently ended up with
       a sally light foot crab.  She came in on live rock.  She is
       absolutely adorable.  I've named her Little Toot.  I had to
       remove her from the tank.  She finally grew big enough to grab
       my opaes and eat them.  I wanted her to have enough room to
       explore and play so got her a 20 gallon tank.   I stocked with
       it with snails and added a gorgeous peppermint shrimp.  I was
       told to add the cycle to my tank and put them in it and all
       would be fine.  It  wasn't and what a nightmare.  My shrimp
       died.  She was so awesome too.  She and Little Toot would sit
       together.  Anyhow I watched the youtube video on cycling my tank
       by KGtropicals.  I also used all recommendations from the store
       on what to purchase. I hope I get set up right so I won't have
       anymore tragedies.

       From Alaska, that's great.  Welcome to the forums Kdsealyon!
       Is Little toot going to be the only one in the 20 gallon?

       No, I'm going to get some more peppermint shrimp. Any advice
       will be appreciated.  I bought a protein skimmer, a filter
       through KGT along with a water testing kit. I was using the
       little strips. What else do I need please?
