First attempt at building a fake background.

I would leave the plants be.

As for the bulb, its probably 5500K or higher then.
How many watts is the bulb? Does the light look white or yellowish in the tank when lit?

I buy the Reveal bulbs by GE at Walmart at 24 watts and shows 6500K on the packaging. Think the are about 5 bucks a piece.
Yours should be fine and if your plants are looking healthy then I would let be and let it grow on its own. Don't want to ruch anything since the sooner they overgrow the tank the soon you'll be either trimming back or replacing :-)

This is my first build so I guess I'm just trying to make the tank perfect for my clowns which I hope to get in a couple weeks. These are the first frogs I've owned and I don't want them to be stressed. I've kept everything befroe from venomous reptiles to snakes and hedge hogs and I tried plants in their tanks but the snakes always got to large and crushed the plants while hunting.

Thanks again Thad

O.k. so have another problem with my plants, the Golden Pothos that is planted in the GS wall is in a plastic party cup that I poked holes in the bottom to release extra water from is turning brown and wilting. I don't have the light directly on it since I know it is a low light level plant. I was thinking of taking it off the GS wall and planting it in the substrate and then putting a cutting of a Boston Fern where the Pothos was would that work?

Also my Snake Plant hasn't started growing roots yet and I was thinking of cutting the cup it is in completely out of the GS and then replanting the Snake plant directly into the GS so that it was softer to grow into.

My Brom is growing great it has started sending roots out of the bottom and the leaves are growing into the side of the GS, my Philodendron is growing like a weed as well.
