looking good! i can see how they are growing to the middle as you noticed. some people like that and work that into their scape but you might even try adding another fixture or running T5 along with it to even out the light distribution.
as far as the plants wanting to sway, thats not a bad thing sometimes. if you dont have enough current moving water around the plants then they cannot take advantage of nutirents in the water column as well. that is a parameter i am playing with right now. i used to use one canister filter with a powerhead that came on with a timer to move the water for brief periods but now i am using two canisters and playing around with the intake and return placements.

Oh, switched the filtration for the last time. Went with a 2215 instead of a 2217, it was a bit too much flow IMO.

Pearling is when happy plants release lots of O2 into the water. This is probably just oxygen coming out of one of the channels inside the plant...can only see it when the plant is damaged. Looks cool tho! I've seen it in my nano before too.Originally posted by sunkenmetal View Postpearling?

There is a stream of bubbles coming from one of the snail damaged plants. Pretty cool looking...

Since changing the light, I've noticed more bubbles underneath some of the leaves on my plants.
