I bought a cory catfish and he ain't helping at all. Speaking of Disney movies, my tank after 3 weeks looks like when they jammed the filter wheel in the dentist office tank in "Finding Nemo"!

The algae outcompeted the floating plants. So I just bought more plants, some "background plants" but of course I don't have sand in my aquarium, just gravel, so the roots probably aren't gonna hold. And one more fish died, the pleco, so no I only have one. I need to set up a new tank and transfer this guy so I can bleach the crap out of my good tank!

My fish tank travails — Just cleaned tank and did a 50% water change yesterday. It was a slime covered mess the day before that. It has been a multi-year battle with algae that I have fought ever since previous small tank with a much less bright light developed a leak and I replaced it with current tank. I never had algae problems before. It must have been a plant i bought from the pet store at some point, but it has gotten so bad. I really need to do weekly cleans but I can't keep that...
