Thanks for the replys everyone 
Took some more shots today, did a water change yesterday and gave things a good prune. Nothing much has changed, just letting things grow, have reduce the lighting back to 4x24w, think the 6x24w was a bit too much.
Been slacking a little on the EI dosing and water changes, so have noticed some algae, will do another water change mid week to get things on track.
Here some shots of the tank:

Many thanks, I didn't much before and had to replant it a few weeks back, I have now been keeping it thin, otherwise I will suffer the same consequences.
When it gets too thick the under layers near the gravel start to rot away beacuse it won't get any light and then it becomes a mess and looses grip on the gravel.
Sorry - one more question. As soon as it "covers" or "thickens" is when you trim? And, you basically trim height, correct? Thanks for all your help.
I have now been trimming it every week, I am just trying to keep it low to the gravel as much as possible now
and avoid many layers on top of each other.You can ask as many questions you like, thats how we all learn

Thanks - and thanks for the green light on questions. No doubt I will have another one or two down the road.
