Here is my new just finished pine hood now on the tank. It is definitely better than the original hood that I persisted with for so long, modding and modding over and over.

These T5HO lights are super cool looking and the light they give is nice too. I am currently using just the 0.9WPG of a single lamp which you can see in the pictures below.

The aquascape is now 7 weeks old. I have come to the conclusion that the HOT5s absolutely smash the WPG rule into oblivion and algae has quite enjoyed my inexperience of the higher level of light.

The Nuphar Japonica is huge and starting to 'command' the tank so may have to be pruned. The low light plants suffered during the time when the Lilys grew their leaves to block the light and they have had to be pruned heavily due to this. Switching dosing routines and lights will not have helped but hopefully the tank is balanced again.
