Thanks a lot for the compliment Hoppy, I couldn't have gotten here without all the advice/info I received from you while picking your brains =). I must say that I am completely hooked onto the planted tank experience now and that there is no other way I'd setup a tank now.

By the way, whatever happened to your 10 gallon Glosso tank? Did you end up giving up on it and stripping it down?

Oh also, I do agree with you on the 40Wattt CFL not being too high on a 10 gallon. While the hairgrass was growing faster I did notice GSA on my tank walls as well as some green algae on the upper areas of my driftwood. Would those be signs to go back to 30 Watts of lighting? For now I have gone back to 30 Watts, but I'm wondering if I should stick to 40 Watts. I think my stem plants would benefit a lot from the extra light.
