Really like what you've done here. Like the POP of color. layout keeps my eye moving around. Wouldn't mind a bit more weight/life on the right side, but coming along great. you must be stoked!
Plants look happy as well.
Plants look really great, but i would typically think this was a bit too much light. Could you elaborate on "2 PLL 840 55W and 2 T5 HO 6700K 39W" What's your lighting specifically?

Hi,
Thanks for you suggestions. The tank has two 55-watt 840 PLL (Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs) and two 39-watt T5HO 6700K (T5 High Output Fluorescent Lighting). I think is the amount of light necessary to make light-demanding plants grow, such as HC, in a 20 inch deep tank. At least that's my experience. I have 188 watts in total, or 13000 lumens.
I think you are right. Maybe I should put something more int he right side.
