I was curious what level of lighting you think I have. By level i mean low, medium or high. It's a five gallon tank (10x10x12 inches tall) and it has a 13w daylight spiral cfl bulb on it.
Thank You
 
i have the same setup and i think it is in the low to low-medium light category but don't take my word for it. :)
 
I would say medium high to high near the focus if the reflector, degrading to low light around the edges. If the light is elevated, it will be less light but better distribution.

High-medium-low light doesn't really have much meaning as all tanks, bulbs, and reflectors are different, and is just a ball park measure at best.
