Default 9 Gallon Nano - In Wall / Staircase - 2 Sides Visible - Modualar LED

Well, my 9 gallon nano has been over run with clove polyps, so its time for a fresh rebuild.

First the history.
I build this tank using reclamed glass from a highrise renovation that I was involved with many years ago.
The silicone used was GE silicone 1.
Tank has had water in it since 2008.
The Lights used are 3 Coralife 2x 9w CF fixtures. a mix of actinic and 10k bulbs are used.

The first thing in this tank was a small batch of guppies that quickly became a large batch of guppies.

SW urges took over and the guppys were out and a cleaner shrimp and a Firefish were in.
Fire fish jumped, shrimp died.
A pair of sexy shrimp and a chromis were the replacements.
That was a year ago.
Clove polyps and bubble algae have taken over.
The other big mistake with this set up is there isnt enough room to scrape the glass effectivly to remove coraline algae.
