Hello , I have a 11w g23 bulb above a 14l tank (12l of actual water has rear filtration)
The tank has diy co2
2 x 200lph lil filters
No heater stays around 24-25.1
Ei monday to Saturday with easy carbo water change sunday.

Is this to much light , and also Im looking to find a nice white bulb the one in it is slightly yellow , iv seen some LED ones on ebay but not sure how they would be.
 
I think it's about right. I have an 11W light on my 10L tank and plants grow nice. I think it's low light. I used to use a 18W to speed up the growth a bit.
 
I have an 11w Arc Pod over a tank of similar size. I use duckwed to diffuse the light and haven't had any problems with algae.
