A pic looking at the front of the tank would help. I think part of the problem is the distance the lights are from the surface of the water. It would be like your tank was 3 feet deep as far as how far the light has to travel to reach the bottom of the tank.

Could be just a white balance issue on the camera. Here's what it should look like. Anywho, I think that lighting is just fine for swords. They don't need a lot of light at all

Without a reflector to get the light down to the plants properly your mainly throwing the majority of your light away from the tank. Some good reflectors on those lights would make a big difference.
And correction... the 1 pic was taken when I had soft whites in there, not daylights.
Here is a front shot with daylight bulbs. Tanks sloppy cause im redoing it.

The bulbs are 6 inches above the glass tops, then it's another 22 inches to the roots. My current lights are sufficient? I just don't understand the withering leaves. Is it because the lights not reflecting?
Air does not reflect light. Having a high light does cause more spread of the light though. Water depth is all that is important, not air depth.Knowdafish;4983688;4983688 said:
Amazon swords will lose their terrestrial growth leaves, and grow in aquatic leaves. Aquatic leaves are long and skinny, with little to no stem showing.Steveo McNello;4983724;4983724 said:
