Hardscape is looking very nice.

What about the lighting the tank? You have not mentioned anywhere.

Setup is very nice. I think light is not enough to grow plants.

By looking at the sharp shadow the woods are casting on the substrate , i don't think that the lights are not enough. Though an additional light in the middle would make the light even throught.

wher did you get those bog woods from they are cool :)
