Im using four T8, an it is growing good. Plan to swich to T5s this fall. The bulbs will be about a year old, so spending $ on new T5s an ballasts will be easier to justify.

I changed the substate to Eco Complete about a month ago. Its doing well, an the HC is able to grab hold to it.

I added a few new fish, it was down to the Whip tail, an 4 tetras. Now it has a Albino Bristle Nose, male Beta, an 9 Rosaboras.

I also added a bigger variety of plants, makes it look more natural to me.

Heres a couple shots.



After a quick trim...



I still have some hair algae, an the sunset has no red in it. The tank is doing well other than this.
