even greener

Just about three weeks since I put the new light on the 55. It's definitely brighter, and also closer to the tank floor, and the plants are growing much faster.

Hornwort thicket on the short end is a dense wall now, I actually had to thin some out today.

The robust vals americana are growing wider leaves- and lovely to see the texture where the light shines through

Leopard vals continue to do better than ever, too. Lots of new foliage- although some rather pale-

and baby vals are coming up on runners outside of the planter baskets!

These have come up under the driftwood-

Most of the trimmed anubias rhizomes have new leaves sprouting-

Downside to all this spectacular growth, is the lower buce leaves have spots of BBA again. I'll move them to dimmer areas of the tank. 

Also pulled the pothos that was growing hydroponically on back of the tank. In case it's competing with the vals for nutrients. If they continue looking pale, I'll give root tabs.
