Funny you telling me about the fluval (M24) I was just looking at one yesterday I think it was around a buck eighty ($180). How wide is it? (front to back) since I already have two lights on there, I don't know how it will fit. But I'm thinking, I may ditch the single 8w I have, to make room...

IM Nuvo builc update Hey glad to see you finally cycled, I know you went though a rough period, I'm at day 32, and as you know have been cycled for a while now. Your nitrate test vile looks a little dark to me but certainly not orange yet. I just did my 3rd water change yesterday as my nitrates...

Let me see if I have this right, to review you have zero ammonia, you're nitrites are almost zero. AT this point your Nitrates are getting high. I assume you only have rock in the tank, and you are putting in food which is not being consummed so it's becoming detritus. My tank cycled in 8 days...

Looks like your cycle is almost complete, have you considered a 10-25% water change?
