I just installed my homebuilt light hood (which isn't in the picture)
with 160W of light. The fluorescent tubes are regular shop lights and
seem to emit a lot in the yellow-green spectrum. I think that's why I
am growing so much algae all of the sudden. Plant tubes next....more
pics to come of my light hood, my CO2 generator (see link below) and my
little 10 galllon.

Pretty tank. I love the piece of driftwood you found.

Um...you're maybe suddenly growing algae because you don't have enough
plants. When I plant a tank for high light and CO2, I generally cover
75% of the substrate.

Half shop light tubes and half hardware store gro-lux bulbs give both
good plant growth and good color for watching the tank. Not quite as
nice as Tritons, but much, much cheaper.
