Well.... Updates are needed here lol.
This tank(My little BBG tank) has changed a lot! The plants have taken off since putting the new light on the tank, however - So has Hair Algae
I took LOADS out tonight and then did a waterchange to get the rest out and I have upped the dosage of Easy Carbo to double(as that is still a safe dosage) and the dosage of ProFito so that the plants can fight back and I am adding plants to this tank as I go now.
The grumpy bum himself is happy that his plants are growing now though so if I can get the algae in control then this tank will be sorted.
The tank now - Excuse the bubbles, I wiped the glass down on the inside and had to give some of the plants a good siphon with my small air line tube.

And then there's this. I moved all the cabomba to my small tank as it started suffering in this tank for some reason
I'm planning to get a third light for this tank for the middle. It's not as dark in person as it looks in the photo but it does still need that extra light.
All my plants appear to be slowing down so to speak which is a bit of a shock really since it did so well and then suddenly put the breaks on. It didn't seem to recover properly from moving house though so I can only hope that the extra light will help bring it back round.
Big tank...
On a plus side for the big tank, this little guy has finally decided that he can come out and stay out without being eaten or killed lol.
He's spent the past few months in this tank hiding at the back or behind the filter, only coming out at night and then darting off whenever he saw movement in the room
Today, he stayed sat out in the open while I did the tank maintenance and even let me go near him while I was re-planting a plant he'd uprooted. Definitely an improvement. Even got to see him eat for the first time in months
And finally!
Last picture
I often get asked what I feed my fish lol.
Well, the big tank get's a mixture.
They get a mixture of Tetra Prima, Tetra Pro Colour and Bloodworm on alternate days. Bloodworm is every two days because my BBG needs feeding every alternate day and one cube is way too much for him as he only eats a few to himself.
The pleco also get's his wafers(a mixture of Carnivorous, Sinking and Algae - All Hikari) on the days that they get Tetra Prima or Tetra Pro Colour.
The photo is of the Tetra Pro Colour because I always get asked what it is. Well, this is what it is! XD
At least he had a good home!
