could not help to notice the close proximity to the window.. have you had any issues with algae as a direct result from the sun light?

very cool setup!

Thanks! In the mornings I cover the window, but before I started doing that I did.

Well guys, long time no update.
I've been noticing an interesting pattern of growth with the HC. It will spread runners like crazy for about a week after I replace my DIY co2, then it will stop growing, and leaves will begin to die off, untill I replace and the cycle starts again.
My hairgrass has been growing adequetly, but still no runners.
So to remedy these problems, I have invested in a Paintball co2 system. I still have one part coming in the mail, so it's not set up quite yet, but I'm really excited.

You will also be interested to know I have changed my plans dramatically. My original plan was to buy equipment for my existing tank, and make it perfect. Now, for various reasons (one being because I'm moving this summer), I have decided to abandon the 45-F temporarily, and invest in a complete 60-F set up, with all the best equipment from the start. The 45-F will go on the back burner, eventually to become a nano reef, or possibly another planted, depending where my interests lie.
