Welcome! Good to see another southerner!

there's actually a sticky in the classifieds section with appropriate links

Is that a ramshorn? I've never seen that color variations. How lovely!

I turn my filters off on some tanks. Some have HOBs and they just aren't strong enough to continue pulling the water up the tube once it gets past a certain level. Some tanks I drain down past the intake so I HAVE to turn them off. Some, I don't even bother turning them off. And like Rbish...

I think 4 angels are too much for a tank that size. clown loaches will get MUCH too big but i like the phantom tetras and how exactly are you planning on "modifying" your water?

they actually kinda make my eyes hurt

i think you missed one when you culled.... all the way over to the far left of the pic

Why are you treating a fish for something you don't even know he has? That's like giving a child antibiotics "just in case". A QT period is to MONITOR a fish. To make sure said fish doesn't bring home anything like parasites, gill flukes, worms, ich, or any other number of diseases. A QT...

i think the first one is a form of hygro the second i don't think i've ever seen before

I don't think it matters.

here's a useful guide http://www.plantgeek.net/plantguide_list.php?category=8

water changes depending on what type of treatment you used to cure the ich, it's very well possible that you killed off some of your bio filtration and are now having an ammonia spike. Can you please tell us what your water parameters are.

Exactly. Plants (and fishes) colors respond differently to different spectrums. The more spectrum covered, the prettier the plants (at least IMO)

k rating isn't brightness, it's color spectrum plants can only use between 5500k and 10000k iirc if it were me, i'd go with one 6700k bulb and one 10000k bulb
