I don't know if I should post this in here, but I'm in day 46 of cyckling my tank and I'm wondering when should I change my filter or clean it. My ammonia and nitrite is @ 0 and nitrate are @ 10-20ppm. I have the Eclipse 3 filtration system. Can someone help? Thank you.

I'm at day 46 of cycling my tank. I have the ammonia and nitrite @ 0 and nitrate @ 10-20 ppm. I was about to start introducing some invertebrates when I noticed this black hairy algea. How can I get rid of this problem. I have a 29g tank with cc and dead rock and I'm using Eclipse3 filtration...

I'm in my 9th day of cycling. I'm using deli shrimp. The ammonia level is sky high, so is the trites & trates. I'm testing the water every day and I'm getting the same results. Is it time to take the shrimp out or this is normal? Oh, yeah the PH is good. Thanks.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP!!! :D

Yeah, I thought 90 is too high, but thats what the 12 year old at the LFS told me to do. I'm new in central Florida(Kissimmee area)and this is the closest (30 miles) marine LFS in the area.

I'm in the 2nd day of cycling my 29gal tank. I'm using deli shrimp from my local supermarket. I have no LR or LS. I got the temperature cranked up to 90 degrees F, and I'm not using the lights. My question is, how often or when should I start testing the water? The LFS said I should give it...

If you cycle the tank with the deli shrimp, how long should you keep the shrimp in the tank? Thanks for all the help.

I must have a different hood than yours. I do not have a slot on the right side. There is a slot on the left where the pump goes and all the electrical wires run through. In the middle there is about a 15" section where the filter cartridge sits. On the right is the bio-wheel. I don't see...

There was a post on this matter already, and I checked TWOODS71's web page, but I still can not tell from the picture how to modify the hood. I asked the local fish store and he said there is no way to do it unless I go to a different filtration system. Any advice on exactly how to modify the...

I have a 29gal. tank with an Eclipse3 hood and an undergravel filter. What is the best way to cycle it without adding any live rock and live sand? I'll start up my set up tomorrow. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I'm planning to stock my tank with 2 yellow tail damsels, 2 clarkii clowns, flame angel fish, bahama starfish, 3 camel shrimp, 1 pencil urchin, atlantic anemone, 5 turbo snails and 2 porcelain crabs. Can someone suggest a diet for my combo here. Thank you for your help!!!

I have a 29 gallon tank with an eclipse 3 hood. I'm also unsing an under gravel filter. I have some artificial rock and coral and I'm using crushed coral for substrate. I want to stock it with 2 yellow tail damsels, 2 clarkii clowns and a yellow eye tang or naso tang. I also plan to use 1...

I have 30 lbs. of dried out live rock. It has been dried for about 6 months. My question is, how do I clean the alge off of it so I can use it in my salt water tank I am starting? Can I soak the rock in bleach?
