Sunset Hygro

[DAAJ]

Hi everyone, i'm new to these forums and was referred to them from www.greenchapter.com. I recently set up a 10 gallon planted tank with a bunch of plants that i had mistankly put in a 20 long with only an 18 watt bulb.

Because of this, the sunset hygro I had lost all its red color. It's now in a 10 gallon tank with 28 watts, it is growing, but i'm just wondering if the red will ever come back. Do you think that 28 watts is still not enough? I also picked up some Corkscrew Val, which isn't very.. "corkscrewy". Will the curves come as it grows?

Thanks in advance, this looks like a very great forum and I can't wait to be apart of it.
