At least this is teaching me what I need to do(fert, substrate, and excel wise) to get good healthy plant growth and that is half the battle.

Continuous on/off of the top will get ANNOYING

I leave the top cover/light sitting ON the filter tray on my 12g Eclipse. I'll take a pic and post it when I get home...

Homer -

I think it is about time for an update on this tank, don't you think?
