Its been a few months since my last Upadate on the 55 gallon. First things first upgraded the lights to a finnex planted+ 24/7 (not using 24/7 to lazy to setup). Added scarlet temple into the tank along with a anubis. Plecos are breeding like crazy and i need to and otto cats into help the 3 SAE with the algae growth along with shrimp. Snails are coming back after i overdosed excel without realizing it would wipe them out and kill my val. Still wondering if Thrive C is the best option or regular due to the shrimp and high nitrate (pirahna and other things making a mess all the time) plus it has carbon in it that isn't glut based they say but not sure. Since the lightning has be upgraded i only really have to worry about the nutrition of the plants(and algae)now flourish did its job in the past but its not doing it anymore. If anybody lives in PA and has Amazon frogbit and java moss let me know can't find it currently. But other than that things have been great lately next goal is getting the 120 for JAWS and then i don't know what im going to do when thats setup. Pictures added below (last pic is the old lighting to compare)

tank looks amazing! Im assuming you breed bn plecos.
What model of 24/7 do you use? The 24/7 setting is really easy. I can help you with it if you want.

does it do well by its self
Well he has tank mates just not other pirahnas mainly his clean up crew and snails used to be housed with a exdon but the exdon prevented me from getting a clean up crew because the exdon ate the clean up crew every time but JAWS doesn't show any aggression towards the other fish just his food (frozen silver sides or trout if he eats it he's a very picky eater)

Uh not sure on the model but has RGB lights plus i noticed he gets stressed with the color changes
All 24/7s have RGB. Can I get a pic of the light and the way the LEDs are positioned? I can identify then or you.
He? You can just set it so the same color/s get darker and lighter.
