Yes Thank you Zimm. My bad,. I was trying to recall it from memory and got it a little
wrong. Yes, River. How's the CO2 doing? OS.

I don't know about that as I'm having trouble adjusting to the bubbles in the water.
It's alway something with you
Nice transition to pressurized CO2. You were the queen of glut (Glutaraldehyde). I bet the stock prices for Metrex (makers of Metricide) start to drop now lol

If the co2 bubbles flying all around the tank bothers you, perhaps the external cerges reactor that aqua_chem suggested should help with the dissolution before it hits the tank.
I'm still using 3 ounces a day in the 220 and I do have other tanks I use it in. This is the only tank that's doing CO2 and had I not decided to add more lights, which I am really happy I did, I wouldn't have had to go CO2. I'm still the biggest fan of Glut! The one thing I'm having a hard time with is seeing all the bubbles in my tank!
I think I just about have the CO2 dialed in. Another day or two will tell.
Now here's a good question... I am noticing even more color in some of the plants BUT I wonder is it from the CO2 or the new lights? Or a combination of both. The Ludwigia sp Atlantis is wild looking. I'm going to get a picture in a few days. It's orange, dark bright orange. Am waiting to see if it changes into the red orange range of if it's going to stay like this. This plant and the Ludwigia sp Pantanal Red are the most intensely bright colored plants I've ever seen.
The only bad thing is I have to have an electrician come and split the aquarium outlets into two of their own breakers. I have to have a heavy duty extension cord run from the sunroom into a plug in the house to use the new LED's.
I love color with a touch of green as my accent color... lol! I am really glad I invested in these less commonly seen plants. Just like the Ludwigia sp Tornado. It isn't brightly colored but the way each leaf twists it catches the light and really stands out.
