    Thanks guys, glad you like it :). @oldblocke - No, I would not agree, I would rather say softness of images is connected to the lens used. 7D is very often used by professional sport and wildlife photographers because of cropped sensor giving better reach (close up).

    This can depend on bulb technology, T5 or T8.

    I thought, that iron is not available directly for plants from the chelated complex, as chelators are usually organic compounds, and chelator need to be break down by light, bacteria etc. prior to plant uptake by leaves.

    Low Light, Low CO2 Nano plants?

    I think, in case of mosses, CO2 or liquid carbon availability is more important than higher ligth level, as they can't use carbonates as CO2 source, as far as I know. Just my opinion, as I have had many mosses in the past in LT tanks, but not all species obviously.
