    So I'm getting some BBA and green spot algae on the Manzanita wood thats at the top level closest to surface and right under the light.

    I'm going to reduce my photo period from 10 to 8 hours, cut back my Flourish dose in half and spot treat with Excel. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

          Love the set up. If I were a Cherry Shrimp that's where I'd want to be.

            Here are some updated pictures. I've successfully treated BBA with H2O2 and decreasing my photo period. I've also acquired the following plants from a fellow Boxer:
            Limnophila aromatica
            Rotala sp "Vietnam"
            Rotala sp "Butterfly"
            Pogostemon stellatus
            Glossostigma elatinoides
            Trident Java Fern





            I'll trim again after New Years.

                  Thanks! I like the wild look too. I do admit it does need a trim.

                  I also swapped out the original 30" PC fixture for a 36" to eliminate dark spots. The problem was 65 watt 30" PC lights actually come with 24" bulbs and I didn't know that at the time.
