    looks quite good for now
    you might have to thin out quite a bit because of the packing, but that can't be helped, really
    give it 2~3 wks for the growth

    Nice size tank. Very bright.
    Only advise is: Get a CO2 reactor to increase the efficiency of injecting CO2.

    yes
    you'll realise you'll have to thin them out when they start to grow well
    but i'd rather thin them out after initial dense planting than to plant thinly and get algae problems
