I have a single 24" T5 sunlight in the sump right now. How far away do you have your light and how high is the cheato?

That looks much better than mine. Mine is about the size of a baseball and dark green after a year......

You could add a small power head to your sump or you could stir it up, move it around and spread it out once or twice a week.

It not growing much is normally a good thing. The more nitrates you have the more it will grow.

I use 28w CF in a clip on light in one area and a 28w PC over another. Both do about the same as far as I can tell.
