Have you tested your your parameters lately? What are they reading at? I'm also going to have to second JustinL's comment about returning them. If your tank is still cycling then they shouldn't be in there.

water perimters seem fair
ph-8.3
amnia-0.01
nitrite-0.1
nitrate 0
SG1.024

cycle is only halfway there i think... you gotta test weekly throughout the cycle to know where it is. conditions may worsen later so i would highly advise taking NateL on his offer.

btw nate, that really is very kind of you. lol we canreefers take care of our own. we're a big happy family :biggrin:

No problems, ive got a QT tank all set up, though they may be a bit cramped in a 20g, its better than nothing.

And bingo you have a cycle! I would say re-test the pH. Since your tank is empty I wouldn't worry too much about it. Assuming the test it correct you could do one of two things, a water change, or you could leave it for a day or two and see what happens.
