Mozzie larvae can be used as live food as wellI would also prefer to just put it out in the sun, but im worried about mosquitos. its 15Watts
A 15 Watt fluorescent won't cut it. Put the tub out in the sun, if you don't want bugs in there put a piece of bug mesh over it.I would also prefer to just put it out in the sun, but im worried about mosquitos. its 15Watts
that looks like something is eating the leavesWelcome to the "I even kill duckweed" club!
Yeah I struggle with it too. But I kill any plant that touches air apparently...
I've tried no flow, with flow, lots of light, no light, sunlight, with lid, without lid, clean water, old tank water, liquid ferts, you name it. It magically disappears. Even in containers without fish or snails in them. Just poof, gone.

This is currently my pathetic attempt at it in my 20 gallon.
Mosquito dunks or chips or bits or sone other chiten inhibitor will stop the mosquitos surviving. Most fish that can get the larvae into their mouths (we have used pencil fish so they don't have to be big) will eat them.. but watch the temperature for the fish .I use a few Mosquito Bits (like BT dunks but tiny) to keep eggs & larva from hatching & molting in my "pond" pot. They don't harm fish or other critters.
We have mosquito control boards that give away mosquito fish around here. Maybe you do too?
