Hey guys,
i'm trying to get it to live but man it's more difficult then I thought.. It looked little better at night after I turned off all the light completely. It swelled up a bit but in the morning when the moon light came back up and turned skinny... hmm... I just got my t5 fixture this morning so let's see if additional lights will help this issue..

A pic would be nice. I wish I had something that might help, but my brain
has not yielded any good learning experiences; I put it in the tank and it grows

Mine is in the lower regions, about 27" down from my T5s, in a moderate/heavy flow area.

My three are at the bottom too. With mod flow. Mine like the sides of the tank better than the middle dunowhy! Lets see that pic
