Stoneroller's doing fine. Primarily right now it's film algae on the glass
and then I start getting some blackbrush on the rocks when I kick my second
set of lights on. I cut my lighting on my 10 gal to one 15 watt GE daylight
bulb as with both of them on I had a lot of problems with film and
blackbrush.
