If you really want to see some growth, add a co2 system

I agree with a black background, and more plants. Otherwise the tank is gorgeous. You've got me thinking about better ways I can display my pair of Cons.

Can anyone go through my posts and better answer my questions I had asked? Thanks guys just looking to have the best possible thriving tank I can create.

A black backround just makes the plants standout, and I think it really helps. Go replace that 15000 k bulb with a 6500k because your just adding extra light that the plants cant use, creating algae. Next go buy yourself a good pressurized co2 system

Current bulbs are Coralife 10,000k T5 HO and GLO POWER-GLO 18,000k T5 HO on the rear 48" GLO dual T5 fixture of the tank. And on the front 48" GLO dual T5 fixture I am running 2x GLO LIFE-GLO T5 HO bulbs and I cannot find the exact degrees/kelvin that the LIFEGLO bulbs run at.

Get rid of the power glo, swap it for another life glo. Life glo are 6700k.

I also re-arranged a couple established planted pieces of drift wood closer to the light as I believe these specific plants strive for high lighting and with them being wedged together between 2 branches of my large drift wood hopefully it will spread all over the large drift wood as well. Let me know your expert opinions everyone. Are my bulbs okay or should I change for best results? Should I add an additional dual T5 fixture?

Do not add more light until you add pressurized co2.

Why would you suggest a black background is there actual benefits for the plants with this feature? Or just cosmetic to add a POP affect to the colors in the tank?

A black background will absorb light, I do not recommend them. Personally i prefer a blue background.
