Walmart lights
I have to agree with MIDukes. I have been using the Walmart and LEDs and have grown nothing but fuzzy green stuff while my plants have turned brown.
Looking for other solutions.

growth=light

Nice!
Nice hardscape there, though a bit blurry. I like the sharp rocks. I am doing HC only for now. Some people are adding dwarf hairgrass and shorter types of veggies.
Post more pics. I'd love to see...

You have probably been checking the web, but there are several things you will most likely want to look at.
If you are growing HC, the standard light won't be sufficient. I have the LED upgrades...

I like the second one better. After playing with mine for a while, I decided to do something more vertical to contrast the very horizontal lines of the tank. Might I suggest standing the bigger rock...

Looking good
I like your hardscape. The rocks look really good.
There are lots of people here doing iwagumi/edge tanks. Keep us posted on progress. What are your plans for flora and fauna?

new lights
So per, tuono's suggestion, I put in the Walmart 10w light today. It doesn't seem to be that much brighter, but I'm hoping it will start some growth.

I have a paintball tank already. I just want to try it with a cheap regulator before I take the plunge and get a whole system.
Is there anyway to find out if it is the standard size for paintball...
