Hey my pico is on day 6 and is wicked clear, my nitraes seemed to have been stable now for two days at 0-5ppm, where as my nitrite has increased to almost 1-2ppm little worried but I guess thats the cycle ?? is there anything else can do to help the tank or just wait it out?

You just have to wait till the nitrites clear out.

A lot of this hobby is waiting especially at the beginning. The only quick thing is failure, go slow and enjoy the life that should be emerging from your LR. Check again after lights out with a flashlight.

I have another question for all you guys out there who have been helping me out, I was curious... Does anyone know what the light rating in lumens is for the fluval spec stock lighting system?

that LCL-60 Finnex light doesnt ship to canada! well at least where i have found it it wont ship here, Im becoming frusterated! lol any ideas/help?

The ecopico light at modular led is supposed to be quite good as long as you add some of the side strips to it...and that is a Canreef vendor

yes I have seen and heard good things but I dunno if I have the room to fit it because of the filter. its a wide base for that type of of lighting system. Any articles out there on modding the Fluval spec light for more royal blue and actinic lighting?
