It's 125 W Mike, replacing 108W T5 lighting.
I have a bare patch at the front right that I haven't decided what to do with yet. Next to the Nymphea lotus, below the peice of wood jutting out with the java moss on it, in front of the hygrophilia stricta 'Thai' - anybody got any ideas on a plant that would look good there - something that grows between 6-10 inches so it sits below the wood, quite bushy?
Looks lovely Dave
how about Rotala Wallichii, yes it grows taller than you want and is fast grower but you can trim it down. It would love your new light
Looks lovely mate!

Good shout mate,
I had ignored rotala sp. because I already have rotala macranda, but wallichii has a much smaller and different leaf shape, would like the CO2 injection and pH as well as the light. Easily trimmed to height - hmmmmmmmmm.
Any other ideas?
Very nice mate.
Bright light.
