"Siamese algae eaters. I have searched 16 LFSs in my general

name, and description, and they got hold of all their suppliers, who
informed them that I must be talking about Chinese algae eaters,
and cheerfully volunteered to send a shipment. I am not getting
anywhere with a local search, so if anyone could point me in the
direction of an online source for SAEs, I would be much obliged. "

About sources of Jobe's sticks, I too could not find the fern/palm
sort so I use the lowest-phosphate stick I could find (13-4-5). This
works fine.
Finally, concerning heat from lights. Since you are using a custom
hood, can you add one or two muffin fans (cheap at Radio Shack)
to draw out the heat, drilling a few small holes on the opposite side
of the hood to facilitate air flow? I used to do this when I was using
VHO lights on a reef tank.
