thanks (could do with advice on algae ..)

thanks again..
 
Yeah top one is better - I have to say though utterly crazy stocking esp when the discus come into it and then mixing angels with tiger barbs I can see a few issues arising from these fish being combined like this.

On a side issue, any chance you could show me how you got your video clips to embed on the forum, pretty please with cherry on top? ;)

I have a youtube and yfrog account setup since starting this hobby and cannot fathom how to show the clips within threads, rather than simply providing an outside link

I have no idea what the scientifics are,but,even though the top one is brighter,the bottom one seems more harsh and giving a bad glare for me

thanks.
