How did you calculate your PAR?  The T5's don't usually tell you do they?

I have a seneye reef which tells me exactly what my PAR is

Small update. Now my plants are established I thought I might get a couple of BN Plecs once again. Rather than get back my old BN I gave to a friend I thought I would look for something a little different. After a search on the interweb, I found a local breeder on the Leicester Aquatics facebook page which Shelster recommended to me. Yesterday I bought a trio of mating Albino BN Plecs. Both females are gravid so hoping to have fry real soon Thanks Shelster for the recommendation.

Hi. The 2 big green plants are Amazon Swords and the red one is a African Tiger Lotus

That's what I was going to say but I was sure you would say something more specific than amazon swords lol

Well just spent the last 3 n a half hours tearing everthing out of the tank (except the dwarf sag) and replanting it all.
Must say im impressed. Much prefer to the new layout. Took out some hardscape, binned loads of stems (proper gone off stems) Made a center peice centered in the tank and just planted around that. Looks alot more sparce, not SO heavily planted but I like it - and itll grow in, again lol.
