that's OVER feeding, if your tossing 2 cubes of frozon food in there every day.
Cut back to "1" per every other day, you'll see they won't starve and the rest will clena up after them. | |

You are way overfeeding though. Can you post some pictures? _________  |

I am feeding 1/2 cube twice a day. So I am guessing I need 1/4 cube twice a day? | |

10 lbs is good lr for a 5 gal. For a 90, you need to step it up. But don't just throw uncycled Lr in there. Any good amount of Lr you add will most likely cause another cycle if it's not fully cured. How long was the 90 setup before you transferred everything over? Did you let it cycle for a month at least, if not more with almost no LR? | |

My bad, I was reading IBMGEEKs sig on accident. But seriously 40lbs LR in a 36 gal would be better.
But 2 weeks, you may not have cycled enough yet. What are your ammonia and nitrite levels? Did they peak (at least to 20-30ppm) and go back down yet? | |
