Thanks mizu! I'm really hoping the UG pulls through as well. I'm thinking of temporarily pulling out the cichlids into my old 39g until the UG settles. I like this plant too much to just let it wither away.

I'm glad I was able to inspire someone . I've got many inspirations on this forum as well. All you have to do is click through the majority of the threads on the first 2 pages in the journals section. 10g's have lots of potential... just use HoustonFishFanatic's 10g's as inspiration.
Thanks!

One way to remove surface scum is to add some Purigen to your filter. It'll absorb the proteins and other stuff that make up the surface scum so there won't be any more
Purigen ehh... After reading Seachems info on this product, they state that it absorbs nitrates as well. Now wouldn't that defeat the purpose of dosing the tank with nitrates? Is this product only used when needed, such as my surface scum case? Or can it stay inside the canister filter all the time? Mr. Logic tells me only when needed, correct?
