Update!

Got some new plants, Alternanthera reineckii rosaefolia, Rotala macranda 'Butterfly', Rotala macranda, Ludwigia brevipes, and Rotala rotundifolia. I removed the cherry barbs because they were they only fish reacting to the co2, since moving them out I have been able to increase the co2 alot! ImageImageImageImageImage

For ferts, I use the EI Method of dosing, KHO3 and KH2PO4 for macros and CSM+B for micros. It is pretty much the staple for an high-tech planted tank. In depth here: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/foru ... guide.html

For lights I use a 2x 24watt T5HO bulbs, one 6500K and one 10,000K.

For substrate I use ADA Aquasoil Amazonia. Love it and wouldn't ever go back to anything else.

For CO2 I have a 7lb Co2 tank hooked up to a regulator, then a solenoid, then needle valve, leading to an inline ceramic diffuser on the output of the canister filter.

I thinnk the colorata is starting to turn more and more red! Fingers crossed!

More pictures! The black neons are actually very pretty, they have a bright red patch above their eyes and their horizontal white stripe is very very bright! Also their dorsal fins have turned a shade of red and their bottom fins are yellow! Very cool! The next ones are my sparkling gouramis that I THINK is a pair, not positive, if someone can sex them that'd be great! Hydrocotle grew in really fast now that it's gotten established!
