I have the Fugeray on my 40b and algae can be an issue even with that light. I'd say you would definitely need to use screen or something to block some light if you're not going to inject co2 for a...

Hi all, I'm running the 2213 on my 15g and I'm noticing a reduction in the water flow from the spray bar. I've only had it a couple of months. I've taken it completely apart, cleaned the impeller and...

I don't use a cover. They do block some light, especially when they get dirty. I am careful not to spray anything near my tanks though. I love the open top look, plus it makes everything easier such...

I have a 40b. I bought the 36", very nice and slim and I love the moonlights. The legs only lift it about 3" above the water, just enough to keep it dry. It's great for low/medium light IMO.

+1 I'm only using one 6700k cfl on my 5 gallon and I've never had an algae issue. I'm growing anubias, java fern, crypts and dhg. 2 cfl's are too much IMO.
