Did you mean cure or cycle?

do not rush. let it run for 3 weeks before cosidering snails in that tank. your cycle is not near being done.

give it a realy good cycle you will be very glad down the road i set up a 10 gallon nano let it cycle for 2 months its on month 4. this tank is bare bone to no mechanical filter or skimmer and its running better then my90 gallon with all the bells and whistles. i truly apreciate a good cycle now

I'm not planning on adding any part of a cleanup crew for at least two weeks yet, regardless of my parameters. I'm just a little wary about the potential of *not* seeing an ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate spike that would let me know about the cycling in general. As I mentioned, I wasn't able to pick up a test kit for almost five whole days of running my aquarium so seeing safe levels of ammonium and nitrite set me on edge - which is why I updated with the question.

to be honest with you, when i set up my second nano I just let it run for a month till i tested my water.

but what are you doing with your lighting??? also what size of HOB filter is that
