Thanks for the comments guys, its early days yet and its not as I want it.
I started it about 5 years ago to keep a goldfish, but I have passed the goldfish to someone else since then and decided to start a planted tank.
Upgraded the lights added an external filter and some DIY CO2, want to get presurized with PH Controller eventually (one thing at a time).

I will keep this post updated

I can't believe all that good growth with only 48watts of light. Makes me feel silly I have so much light and my growth looks nothing like yours
