Today's update- 24/10/12

Plants are all looking fine. so are the fish. Inverts all are breeding away which is fine for now. i do however have i guess its white algae on my woods. Not super fussed atm as hoping to acquire like 30 shrimp end of the month so hoping they like it, if not i will take them out for a clean before it ruins plants.

The white algae is a bacteria not algae and it happens a lot on new wood introduced into the aquarium, give it a scrub when you notice it not getting any worse and it should sort it, nothing in your tank will eat it mate.
