Strong Lighting?

Would replacing the bulbs for stronger ones be worth it? it seem as is, i already have too much burn upon my LR, every time i turn my sunlight on it usually only take 3 hours for stuff to start turning brown.

Is it still in the cycle??? What are your water tests reading??
 
I've been done cycling since Tuesday. And so far all i have in it are 2 emarald crabs, 10 hermit crabs, and 6 snails, a CBS, and a cleaner shrimp.

My test are good. everything checks out ok.
 
exact parameters will only help
 
CBS+cleaner= DEAD CLEANER!!!!!!!

And yes exact test results will be needed, what is good to a beginner may not be so good if you get my drift.

Please include a phosphate result if you have the test kit for it.
 
Ok these are the tests i just did.

Amn=0
Nitrite=0
Nitrate=20
Calcium=380
(I do not have pH, but I have kH) which was 230

And wow, the LFS did not tell me about CBS and Cleaner Shrimp are bad together? They seem fine to me.
 
Give it time the cleaner will be killed 99% of the time, you may have a lucky pair but chances are slim.
