Why add more light? You just "bragged" about a perfectly balanced system (nutrient uptake is enough to be sustained by the bioload) and healthy growth. Now you want to just bang more light on it? For what purpose? Just faster growth?

You have low demanding plants and they are growing well. Why not just sit back and enjoy the tank. I always found that tinkering (and adding things just because) is counterintuitive most times and never productive.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
