the 5 gal hex, was that a simple tank you bought cheap? i notice the light you have over it, what is that? simple desk lamp?
5g hex was picked on the street curb for free - someone garbage. Light - you right, desktop arm lamp. Was at beginnging with 50-50 combo light from LFS, after that - common daylight CFL, 6,500K. Plus sunlight near window.
