    Cloudy water??

    Test you PO4 level too as PO4 norm associate with cloudy water. If PO4 is high then you may be overfeed. PO4 can be reduce by partial water change, Hagen also make PO4 absorbing bag. FYI, in my planted tank also having this problem and i found out its due to my NO3 too low. Wat light do u use?

    Who knows how to build their own computer?

    Hmm are you adding additional HDD or drive? the power supply (psu) may not able to handle the sys requirement.

    Java moss question

    Why not try X'mas moss? Btw Glosso need to have high light in order to grow into a carpet (horizontal). Without proper lighting, it will grow vertically more make it easier to uproot. HTH

    Or you can install a surface skimmer in the filter's inlet. I am using Hagen's, been working great for 1 1/2 years. The top will always draw the 1-2mm of water surface and the inlet will auto adjust with water's level...
