    Well, I just finished about 2+ hours of straight tank maintenance. As you probably could tell from pics, it was DENSELY packed in there. When I put the plants in originially, I just took them out of the box and put them in the tank, lead weights and all. I think this was probably a mistake...

    No need for fancy equipment... I just run my CO2 in through a ceramic air stone placed directly below my filter intake. So every single one of those tiny bubbles runs all the way through my eheim filter system before having a chance to reach the surface...

    No EI yet... just trying to get my CO2 levels right for now. My KH and pH both seem kinda high at 11 and 7.4 respectively. That gives me just over 13 ppm CO2. Upped my bubble count to around 4 bubbles per second which has helped some. Is that the answer? Just pumping more CO2 in to try and...
