If you find the lights are too bright and too hot, you might need to put a couple on a seperate timer for a mid-day burst. You'll get the light benefit without over heating the top.

As a fellow lover of aquatic plants, I vote for Cryptocoryne! Like orchids, you can never have too many Crypts! I can even hook you up with people in Europe to get some rarer species.

Are you using an Eheim to filter/circulate the water? I think I recognize the green tubing.

Cheers.

Indeed, Eheim Prof 2224 actually, Crypts are some of them I like... you can have them half under water half aerial...
