Thanks all, I will try and post more photos from my camera soon, those shots were from my cell. This tank is fairly low light, I'm using 4 T5's not the HO ones, so I think I'm at around 2.8 watts/gallon. No co2, but I use excel and dose just K and Fe every other day. For fish (which you prob...

I just joined this forum recently and thought I would show some pics of my planted tank. I have enjoyed surfing posts in this forum so far so thanks! More details on the setup can be posted if anyone wants any more info. I guess let me know but here are the pics 4 now.

Yeah sorry you're absolutely right, just read up some more on your LEDs.
