I see that you have your lights on in the evenings like I do. Is it possible that there is a lot of light coming in from a window during the "dark" period?

Sorry, didn't read the RR part I guess. You will not need an overflow, but will need a standpipe to drain the water. Water doesn't just flow through the hole in the bottom. And then you will need...

You could, but it is a much more expensive option. You can find a used 30(ish) gallon tank on Craigslist or in the selling forums of RC for much cheaper. It will require that you go to HD and...

Couldn't agree more. I was almost at my wits end with my tank and algae. And then, finally, it slowly started going away. I just kept up with tank maintenance, and now I have no algae. You really...

I didn't really have any problems before adding the fuge. I'm not overly stocked on fish, so my nitrates were always 0. I have noticed a decrease in micro bubbles and I suspect the fuge will help...

Give it some time. With regular maintenance and water changes, the algae will go away. It may take more time than you think, but just keep up with it.

Most likely natural algae succession. Brown diatoms get taken over by green hair algae. I'm guessing this is a relatively new tank?

You probably will have to adjust it everyday at first. But once set, you won't ever have to touch it except for cleanings. I haven't touched my gate valve in 6 months and I only adjusted it then...

For those of you having problems with this skimmer:

1) Once you get the water level set, leave it! On mine, if I open the gate valve more than 1/8 turn, it will flood. If you want to adjust it...

Why would you wear a rolex, especially anywhere near your tank to begin with. Does it tell time better than an $80 Timex?? That's funny!
