Looks like your bulbs are too close to the middle. Try moving them back a bit so the middle does not get yellow. Or increase flow. Or you can add a little iron (like Kent's Iron + Manganese).

CFL bulbs will burn the middle spot if too close. T5's are better because they spread out the light.

7 days is good.
