Each tank is going to be different. Have you tracked the "cycle" with regular testings? Have you seen the ammon., then trItes spike-- are they now reading 0? What are your trAtes? Got any current readings?

thanks, trates are 80, trites 0.,yes i've been checking all along,still getting 40-80 trates, 0 trites ph 8,0, could this bio wheel on the eclipse be making nitrates?

Sounds like your cycle is done, I would do a water change to try and get the trates down.

Have you been doing weekly 10%ater changes? If the trates are the only problem you should be doing them.
