Its a lot of light for the volume of water.
See if you can raise the light or angle it away from the water surface.
You don't need more than 6 hours light per day.
Really low growing plants dude. Need their vitamins. We hulkamaniacs need to ensure co2 delivery to the substrate man. that's the issue, and not always easy, brother.
The second is a beamswork. It should do the job. But getting close to the price of the new light bar on Ian holdich's journal. Check it out. " back to my roots"
Ph computers can be a problem. They tend to fluctuate co2 levels. You need a nice , constant co2 injection rate. With good co2 flow - but not a tornado!
So, it seems if people want decent led, that has the functions we want - we have to pay for it. D'oh. . Wimborne ma had a good looking fluval led unit.
depends on how much flow you need. It is fine as a filter to house your friendly bacteria. But plants and high light demand higher flow to circulate the co 2. So, it is fit for original purpose.
jewel internals work fine for what they are. I needed more flow and flexibility so i dumped it. Ugly space invader of a thing. Jewel lights are perfect for most tanks. Internal co2 diffusers work well too, as long as you find a good flow pattern with your filter or powerhead.
if it is the tetra stuff, i stopped using it a while ago. Think mine was the slime coat one though. Unless there is a specific reason to dose extra water conditioner i would not do it.
you have light :) just add some minerals and nutrients, via an all in one liquid or buy the starter kit from aquarium plant food UK. Or simply use root tablets.
