thanks for the info folks!! i guess i'll be ok for the algae, i wanted it for some of the fish i plan on adding. i was thinking of adding the light fixture from an old 55 gal tank i have and turn them on maybe half the time i run the main lights(14hrs). i was hoping some cool looking growth...

the lfs is pet paradise in downers grove. i too thought the stand included w/the tank i want is too flimsy.

i hope you guys dont lose patience w/me until i find the right mix of fish. i really like the aggressive fish such as; porcupine, lion, eel,etc(they seem to have the most personality, most like pets).... but, from what someone posted, as far as inches of fish/gallons of water(1"/5gal.), i'd...

thanks for you suggestions!! in looking over the internet sites i found one view anti-ugf and one pro. please excuse my ignorance, kev, but i was going to put the power heads on the ugf tubes for the ugf. how do you use them w/o a ugf? the fish i had most interest in were the humu humu, eel...
