You misunderstand what I said about my 15G, they had NO light in my 15g tank at all, except a 25W table lamp that I occasionally had on at night which was pointing in the general direction of the tank. The light hood that my ex is going to make will fit a proper aquarium fluoro which has all the proper light spectrum etc built into it. I can't remember what the wattage is, he just took me there to pay for it all lol. I did, however, put the tube into my bathroom fixture (when it was here as they are the same size) and turned it on and it lit up the room really well, actually better than the regular tube that goes in it. Our bathroom is fairly large too btw, it has the toilet in there as well as shower/bath :P. He said he will be painting the inside of the box white to maximise the reflection of the light etc... All technical jargon as far as I was concerned.

You can see in the 1st pic (other than it's been eaten) that there is a kinda brown substance on the leaves, in the 2nd picture the yellowing at the end of the leave and in the 3rd picture you can see entire leaves of the Val that are yellow.
