This is my first attempt, prototype, you might say at a fuge for my 10 gallon. It is roughly 12x6x7 and holds about 1 and a half gallons. The fuge is lit by a 10 watt 6500k pc 24/7 and has about 80 gph running through it which I feel may be a little weak. It contains about a pound of sand and a pund and a half of LR from LFS. I still need to add a down pipe on inside of the outlet. It works fairly well as it is but has only been set up for a couple of days now. As far as macros I just bought what they had in the store which was some "sawblade" caulerpa, grape, and some kind of "brillo" like macro. I don't know what any of you recommend but I'm not really excited about the sawblade or brillo.

Any suggestions of comments would be great.

The "Brillo" is likely Chaetomorpha or "Speghetti Algae". It is probably the best out of all of them, as it won't take over your tank. The best part is that it doesn't attach to anything.
