For some reason, my tank, of three tanks we have in the apartment, has bugs that go under the light....but the other tanks don't have any. Is this a problem with any other people? It is a fresh water tank by the way.

happens with my tank, bugs love the halides. I put a Venus fly trap on the top of my aqua clear filter, free food!

get rid of the plecos and red bellied pacu.....

bristlenose plecos or any other type besides the norm work best....

and pacus are just going to annoy you as they get larger...MUCH larger very fast

I have a whole collection of carnivorous plants. My flytraps catch flies by themselves all the time. The Sarracenia flava (pitcher plant) catches hundreds of them in the summer :D
