Images - bear in mind a lot of plants are still to be added.
The growth on the current plants in just the past week has been unbelievable.

The Rotala has doubled in size.

Sorry if you already have mentioned it I may have missed it.

The Rotala has certainly grown, I just wish I got a pic an hour before hand, as it was more opened up, showing the red colouration.
As for the lighting (which I didnt specify before) it is simply running on 2 x 4ft tubes. One is an 36w Arcadia Original Tropical Lamp tube , the other an NEC Tri-Phosphor 6700k 37w tube. (nothing flash, but with only 16-17 inches from gravel surface to light, I dont feel any more is needed, YET)
