Okay. Since I put up the T5 lights I am having a problem with algae in the tank, mainly on the front glass. It's yellow/brown and seems stringy as it moves with the pump blowing on it. I have set the lights a s follows:
Actinic on at 10:00am with daylights at 11:00am
Actinic off at 9:00pm...
Is a 5 gallon tank to small for a nano? If not what kind of filtration options do I have? I thought of maybe using a small HOB fuge or just skimmer.
Thanks,

These ebay guys have low prices but try to make it thru shipping. Went to buy some geo rock for my son and the guy wanted $30 to ship. I checked all methods and the most expensive was about $9.00. So I sent am email telling him that he's ripping people off. The reply back was pretty much just...

What does bubble algae look like? When my actinics are on I see bubbles on the LR. They are kind of clear though. How do I get rid of this stuff if that's what it is?

Does anyone have experience with Seaclone 100? I saw one for sale,$50 new. I currently have a Prizm, non-deluxe, and was wondering if the Seaclone would be better. I need a hang-on and tank is 55 gallons. The Prizm is rated for 75 gallons and the Seclone 100. Any opinions? Should I just keep the...
Just picked up the T5 from Damon so now the questions start. It has 4 separate plugs: 1 for the fan, 1 for the LED, 1 for the daylights and 1 for the actinic. I plan to put them on timers so what is a good combo?
