Well... It's been a month and time for an upgrade!! lol... I upgraded my little Eclipse III lighting. I put a 65W PC with a 50/50 smartlight. Wow what a diference.
Stuff is springing to life.... like the ugly brown algea on the top of my tall rock... YUCK!
Time for a clean-up crew?? Leave the light on for shorter time?? All the above? Suggestions?
Thnx
p.s. That stuff grows fast! ...like 24hrs fast...!
 
If all of your water levels are where they are supposed to
be than get a clean up crew,also maybe another powerhead
would be good,and last what are you using for your water.
RO water is the best.

I bought the Custom Sea Life 24"PC retro-kit for the eclipse hood. The reflector and bulb fits in the stock setup. Did you get 110w in the stock hood? or is it in a different hood?
I've had the tank set up since Dec 26th. I've never used tap water, just distilled for top-offs and pre-mixed from LFS for water changes. My last water change was with week-old pre-mixed water. I wonder if that had an effect. The maxi-jet 900 seems to be really moving the water around, so dunno if thats the prob too
ahhh...the learning curve...
thanks for the input
