yes. but they are 6700k bulbs. it came with 14,000k. i dont understand why they look just as blue as the 14K. i just hope its not going to be werid when i fill it up with water and look at the plants. one nice thing though, with that kind of light i doubt ill have trouble growing anything. one thing im concernd about is that i already orderd java ferns and anubius and some crypts. and they want low light....will they be okay in that light??????????????? ill put them under the big pice of driftwood on the right, if its a problem. cause then they will be in shade. at least my discus and cardinals will show up pretty well.

Can't tell you about crypts but the ferns, Anubias nana and petites do just fine under MH.

You also might want to level the substrate so that its looks even from the front before you start planting.

coralife,

Did you remove the linked photos from photobucket? If so can you replace them? It really ruins the value of the thread if the older photos can't been seen.

I love the quantity and character of wood in this tank. Once the plants have grown in it will provide for some very nice visual focal points. You might try arranging it in various ways. The end result will be fun to see.

I suspect you'll be fighting the cloudiness for a while. Try to keep the substrate disturbances down to a minimum and that will pass within a week or two.
