FTS of FW as of 5-29-06

Its a nice start, but it needs to fill in.

haha, yes.. It needs to fill in a lot! I put those plants in yesterday, and have only had a real light for 3 days. Time.. Time...

Looks like it's going to be very nice. Are you concerned that the bubbler running your sponge filter will remove too much CO2 or are you supplementing with extra?

I am very concerned that the bubbles are removing too much CO2... Since I'm doing DIY CO2 I don't have that much control over the output; right now I'm seeing 8-10ppm CO2 though. I'm not sure if that is due to poor CO2 diffusion or the bubbles; however.

A ceramic diffuser is in the mail; if that doesn't bring the CO2 up to 15ppm or higher I am going to get a small canister filter and put the sponge filter in my QT tank..
