This setup is more impresive each time I look at it!

Pier aquatics have some I think, I found out while looking for Rhinogobies.

Has anyone bought fish online and had them couriered?

I've tried the Algae mix by putting it on a dry rock then letting it dry a little, it sticks better.

Water stats! You sound seriously over stocked in a 4 footer. How many Litres/Gallons?

Out of interest did you fish in or fish out cycle? The UV will help and you seem tobe doing everything else ok, but the fact it isn't shifting isn't good. Did you add anything new to the tank?

I assume US gallon? So 7-8 litre? Then a 25w heater is fine. I have a 25w in a 12litre temperate tank.

I managed to get some of the Algae mix and I can't get it to stick to the rocks? I just drifts off in the flow of the tank? How do people apply this stuff? The WCMM and Danio's enjoyed it though..

You could try making a mesh moss wall which would let water through?
