awesome lights! just make sure you get some fast growing plants in there quickly to avoid green water/algae bloom.


You were right, I have green water. :(. I put on a UV but its the petsmart one its way too small. I'm going to look for some plants. Pretty sure the EBJDs are going to dig them up though.
 
cool setup.....
so when are the big ones going in...
 
I've had fish in here since late January, and I still have a nitrate reading of zero. Zero ammonia, zero nitrates, ph 7.0. Is my aquarium still not cycled? I have not really done any significant water changes.

Too much water and very little fish = no reading?
