Dude listen to what I posted on the first page. I'm NOT asking for my current rig. Hence what I told greenmagi. I want to know what I can add to my next, larger tank to help with algae outbreaks that happen even if I have everything under control. That is bound to happen once in awhile. Besides I've read that both
SAE's and American Flag Fish are cool fish to have in general.

...If its an obvious reply, why did you make the thread...
Your statement was obvious, because greenmagi had already said pretty much the same thing on the previous page. Hence why I stated that this thread was not for my current tank immediately after his.

He and I both tried to put it as delicately as possible..."
greenmagi told me what he thought I needed to know. He has dealt, very kindly I might add, to each of my previous threads in regards to issues I was or still am having with my 10 gallon tank. I respect his help. Thank you gm! This was all before I let everyone know that this thread was for another tank I am going to start.
NOT THE ONE I HAVE NOW. There is nothing delicate about your single statement to me though. I have had quite civil discussions with gm and many others in my threads here. I came to this forum because I want to learn and have to ask questions to do that since I'm new to this hobby.

...you are making a mistake getting more fish to "band-aid" the problem with your tank, but you don't want to hear it.
What mistake? I am asking for a new tank I haven't even started yet. I want to hear what everyone has to say. As long as they don't repeat what others have already said. If you had read the first part of my thread you would have seen that. As for my current 10 gallon let's see. I have posted 2 topics for questions I have about that aquarium. They are
Phosphate reduction 101 and
Hazy, cloudy water issues. I am on going with the phosphate reduction and am starting to win that battle. With gm's
help that is.

Get your tank in order before you start calling people out for the HELP they try to give.
If you are talking about my current 10g I am working on that. gm's and TankGirls help has been instrumental. If you are talking about the non-existent tank of which this thread is about I can't help you there bud. I guess I'll have to take the hit for not having a tank that doesn't exist "in order" as you so eloquently put it.
I would much rather have some of your insight into building a great tank instead of the "ball busting" I'm getting now. Being a n00b on these forums is hard enough but doesn't mean you have to treat me like one. But if you insist we can continue the flame war. :? I would much rather not though.
