My tank

In my first setup in this aquarium of 40g I used also tablets of Sera (Florenette A) fertilizer, only for Lotus Nymphea and Echinodorus Bleheri. Now I've stopped using the tablets because I don't have those plants anymore.
These are the pictures of my first setup in 40g.104.JPG112.JPG114.JPG

Today I received my new set of light ,the old ones had expired .This time I will use 3xt5 39w .I tested all three of them, but I intend to change one per week to avoid bloom algae.
 
Your tanks are absolutely gorgeous!!!!
 
I'd love to know what Kelvin rating of bulbs are you using and how many are on at a time? I have a trio of 39watt T5 HO's over my 40b tank, too, but I'm concerned I don't have the proper bulbs in it. When I use more than one lamp on at a time, I get algae on the glass and the driftwood, though I know I don't have enough higher plants to out-compete the algae at the moment. I currently have one 6,500K and two 10,000K bulbs and they probably are not the best quality either from some comments I've read, they are the bulbs from Odyssea.

I absolutely love the look of your tank, great job!! I can't imagine what else you could do to this beautiful tank that would improve upon it, it looks perfect to me! :)
 
Thank you both for your nice comments ! My light : 2xT5 39w (6,500K) +1xT8 30w ( 2,700 K) I use all three at the same time . Because the T8 bulb lasts only 6 months I decided to replace it with a T5 that lasts much longer.
 
I attach a picture with alternanthera lilacina and ludwigia mulerti in my tank from2.JPG November last year .
