I had the same problem, i dont have a strip light for my tank because I dont have a lid for it, so I have a fluorescent lamp against one side of it, I bought a black light fluorescent bulb for it and it wont even light up one side of it - im not sure whether its the bulb or just the light. My...

I could have been a lot more patient with my cycling - to be honest i jsut wanted it up and running, but my nitrate/ite and NH3 NH4 levels are really good, we did use a lot of stuff that we had in our previous tank so i guess that helped, guess we just need to wait and see. If the ammonium...

I think it is a 20 Gallon tank but not sure, ill definetly get some pictures done actually and post them up soon :)
