Fuge is on a reverse light cycle... I have flame algae and Chaeto in there. Got more chaeto last night though so I'll see if it makes a difference.

Nice change Pickupman! I wish I could do that but being on a central wall on second floor the only think I would have access to is the attic, but I don't think drilling into there is all that grand of an idea since I am renting.
