Aquarium Advice Addict
I agree with upgrading the powerheads. two 750's should be good. I'm using a 1400 and a 950 aqueon in my 4 foot 90g tank now and its perfect flow.
Ok, I have a question...I've got my live rock...it has sigificate die-off and it seems to be taking extra long for the nitrite to nitrate conversion. My assumption is that there is so much die-off, that the conversion isn't catching up yet because of that...btw my Ammonia levels are just under .5.
I'm also stalling, I think, because my PH is 7.6. Would it help the cycling to raise my PH by using power heads? (again, this is what I think the problem is, but not 100% sure)
I'm not a fan of the cycle in a bottle things. Is your shrimp your ammonia source? I'd get it out of the sand and leave it in the water.
