That plan is in the works, to put some macro in the sump. I'm going to get a light and figure out how to mount it and put it on a timer so it's on opposite my Radions - hopefully I can do that tomorrow, and see if I can't get some chaeto from someone. I know that'll help solve the problem of algae in the DT, too, in time.

But yes, I want a successful, thriving tank. And I also want to figure out what I am doing (or have done) wrong, so mistakes don't occur again. I'm fully aware I'll run into others, but I love learning in this hobby, and while I might stress about it a little, I'm really having fun; even through the trials (like this one), because in the end it's just going to make me more successful once I do get through it. I'll lay off the phyto & the AA, completely, and see how it does in a week or so.

And, trust me, Chris, I'm very much enjoying my tank.

Thanks again for the advice/help.
