Wow. That looks good, Lado. I agree with Adrian, too. It's about balance. Perhaps there is something in the tank that is missing which causes you to have beard algae. You might want to look into what it is and what causes it. I so far had my tank running with plants for about over 5 days (hence, 260 watt lighting on over 8 hours each day!). I have no algae at all. Maybe it's because I don't have a lot of plants? I don't know for sure but my set up seems to work for both me and the fish.
Thanks Karen!! Your set up is nice too. I did get to see your barebottom tank in the photo-gallery. It was a matter of time for me to decide which setting I like best and how easy will it be for me to maintain.
