    I have the 6500k too and mine wasn't growing. I added another 6500 and it grows like a weed now

    Here's a pic of my cheato as of 2 weeks ago. It's larger than this now. It started out as 3 clumps the size of golf balls that merged together and grew to this size.

    Mine Litterly doubled in size overnight.


    I got a 100 Watt equiv. bulb. 6500K from lowes. and put the ligh an inch above the surface. The water Is super clear. Nusance Algea is dying off quick. I think Its because I wasnt skimming last night. So there was a lot more nutrients in the water. I also Had little white bugs show up overnight.
