Its no problem D Squid:) Setting up a fully automated co2 system with a controller takes careful tuning that usually take 2 days to get it just right:) Check all your tubing connections to make sure they do not leak, this could be a reason your working pressure has dropped. Check all conections...

Thats right! Filipe's Tree scapes are identical in so many ways, easy to get left side scapes and right side mixed up.. FAAO - Aquascaping: 60L Syrah planura

Yes, its one of my last test tanks for Mineralized Soil...

Sorry for the confusion on my part. If your bubble count is to fast, then this is what you need to do. It seems your concerned about pH by reading your set point values in your post. Ph go's right out the window in planted tanks injected with co2. With that said try this.. Lower your set point...

Do you mean the one with the swollen belly?

Lets not forget about these guys :)

What about mazanita wood for your tank?

Fluctuations in PH from co2 are completely harmless. Its to much co2 and not enough O2 that is the problem. I run more tanks than I can count on both hands and feet with pressurized co2. I have Altums,S.American Dwarf Cichlids all the small nano fish you see around and I have yet to see PH be...

The plant in the middle of this tank may work? This is my 120G tank with a giant Hygro in the middle .. _Orlando
