I've got:
~ 2 x 35W flurecent tubes, 2+ years old (1 x white, 1 x actinic blue)
~ 2 x 35W power compacts, about 1 year (1 x white, 1 x actinic blue)
~ 1 x 35W thick blue flurecent.

I know, I know, I'm planning to upgrade to MH within the next to months, and yeah, can't get rid of the algea!

But back to the kenya tree .... I've placed him right under one of the power compacts, so I think he gets anough light, as I've read they don't need that much light (do they?) About the flow, he is about 30cm from a 1200lph (±300gph) powerhead which has a diffuser on its nozel. Not enough flow?

What other parameters should my water be? Do I need to feed him or does he filter the water?

When I turn the lights on, some of the branches still "bloom", does this mean there is still hope and he's save-able?

Thanx so far!
