No BIO Pellets yet, I was going to get some though.
So what you are saying is my system is running lean?

I do have pulsing xenia in there, is that going to die next?

What size tank and all are you running?
The more information the better.

Whats the Kelvin rating of your 60W bulb?

[Milad]

im running 180g, link is on my signature with specs
the bulb didnt have a kelvin rating that i could find, it said "gro light", made for plants, its very yellow though. Mind you i did just notice my duncan isnt doing to great either, does it need nutrients? also i forgot im running rosphaws, one bag of it and that green phosphate removal pad thing.

I have found that cheato grows very well with 6500 deg K bulbs. I bought the 6500 K phillips daylight curly cue flourescent from HD
