Its not relevent to OP discussion, but I just want to point out that >>keep out of direct sunlight to avoid (...) algae is not always correct. I have a 10g thats has been siting near the window on direct sunlight for 4 month, I believe, and it doesnt have much algae. Well, I do have brush algae, but there is more of it in my bigger tank that is siting deep inside the room. Cant get rid of it. Anyway, the main point is that if you have lots of fastgrowing plants, light fish load (I have 2 small danios and 2 dario for those 10g), then, I believe, you wont see much algae once the tank setled down. IIRC, D. Walstad recomends for plants to be exposed to natural light. So if you have good control or somewhat balanced tank, sunlight is not an instakiller.
