    @Broder thanks man, loving the tranquility of my setup. getting my 18w Led tube on Thursday cannot wait, bought the setup with a floglo tube gives a yellow effect, I know the 6500k daylight LED will make a huge difference in the tank.

    Yeah for sure will do a before shoot with current light then with LED added as a combo and then only with new LED setup, maybe the current light is not even needed anymore. Heard these LEDS are bright as the SUN :)

    With all that light you may need an UV Steriliser sooner than you think.
    Give me a nudge when you decide to get one.
    I know someone who knows someone that can get them at a good price.

    So I could not get the connecter strips to connect my new 18 LED tube :-( on my way home last night, just got it during lunch time, already got the power cord sorted just need to add the connecters and then we are all ready to go. Even moved the floglo to the front of the cabinet luckily it's got the hooks for the tubes already so I just moved it. Sure this LED will sort out the lighting issues in my tank so I can see my fishes clearly for the first time :)

    So I added my LED tube Thursday night. As you can see much brighter looking sweet. Next is my new Dophin c1000 canister with Seachem Purigen and maybe some more matrix.

    After LED installed will take more pics tonight as pics come out better at night.

    My hygro polysperma and Amazon swords are looking good.

    Replaced filter floss today and did a little bigger wc today 40 liters instead of 30liters. Wc days works so easy lately since temps are warmer outside. Just threw new water in black bin added prime and left it to cook in the sun. Earlier this afternoon around 16:00 temps in bin was 25degrees as temp in tank al ready to go. Tanks are always a bit cloudy after wc and doing some gravel vacs all will clear up again in a while. Enjoy

    That tank is looking good after the LED was installed.
    I'm sure the plants are going to love it.
