Thanks. =) Also.. Since I am starting to notice hair algae, I have just started (Today) to overdose with Excel and manually remove as much of it as i can. To my knowledge, there are no real cons to overdosing with excel, considering i have no fish, correct?

I noticed that in the past few days, the plants have not been showing any growth. I reduced the light by only one hour, so the plants are still getting 11 hours of light. I am still dosing my ferts regularly. Algae is slowly starting to form (Hair algae) on certain parts of the substrate...

Starting to look into some Co2 injection. I'm going to be taking another trip to another LFS on Monday to get more plants to fill up my 29G before adding inhabitants. So far, the plants are thriving quite well with the lighting. The plants are bright in colour, the red plants are staying red...

Awesome. Thanks a million! :D

So, since Flourish Excel is a liquid based carbon, then surface agitation (bubbles breaking at the surface) does not "take away" from adding Flourish Excel? Because, Flourish Excel is pure liquid Carbon only, right? And thus, it will not gas off the surface because of agitation? Thank you...
