Thanks for the input Travis.
I've heard that about the Biowheels being nitrate factories before. What if I just ditch the Biowheels and keep the mechanical filtration going? Are nitrates really such a problem? I'd like to get some aquatic plants which would utilize the nitrates.
As for the sunlight. When my tank was freshwater, I'd cover it occasionally with a towel to knock down the algae. That seemed to work. The algae I'm getting now isn't a problem. In fact it's kind of decorative on the rocks. Yellowish in color.
Thanks again.
