I want to add more plants to my 10 gallon.I just got a single satellite (http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/204923/product.web) light.Filter im running is an Aqueon10 (http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/236430/product.web).I'm looking at getting the red sea kit (http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/207476/product.web) or the nrg exclusive (http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/22998/product.web) for co2.I don't have room for a regular co2 tank.Substrate is a layer of laterite and natural colored gravel.
Is this equipment ok?What is the better as far as co2?(don't want to diy).
Is there any thing i should change?Thought about changing the filter to a rapids nano canister.

i say the red sea since paint ball tanks are easy to come by. ada also has one of those types of co2. the hob will gas off a lot of co2. if your going to keep it make sure the keep the water up as high as you can.

Was looking at the ada system.Don't really want to spend that much $ right now.I only found 2 sites that sell ada.Think im going to get rid of the hob if i can find a small canister.And recommendation other then the rapids?Tank is on the bottom of a stand with not to much room to work with.Only 4" off the floor.Is that light ok or do i need to go to HO T-5's?

well you might want to look at CFL bulbs. the screw in power compact bulbs. just thinking 40w isnt a common bulb its going to cost a lot to replace.
