So I've let the tank cycle for about 6 weeks. Now. I has had the macroalgae and two moss balls (and all the water that came with all that) in the tank pretty much that whole time.

I don't see really any evidence of algae growth anywhere. I haven't done much with specific lighting, relying mostly on 10 hours of sun + probably 6-8 hours of additional light in my apartment.

Is this enough cycling? Should I be good to buy the snails and shrimp now?

So I noticed this shortly after I introduced my shrimp to their new home. Haven't been able to spot this since, though...
