    Unfortunately, 7 months in I'm still stuck on checking it morning and night but I guess it's because my mind is playing games...maybe it grew green overnight?! :P

    These 23 watt bulbs look ridiculously big next to my 3 x 4 screen

    No it's actually a 75 gallon. My reason for such a small screen is the size of pump I had to start with. I only feed 1 cube everyday. I understand the limitation but I just don't want to upgrade the pump at the moment.

    Did you get incandescent by mistake? CFL's are not rated as "R" anything, and they aren't available with a clear lens.

    If so, that's the problem; not near enough light.
