Im a little confused about why my plants dont seem to be growing as much as i planned. Heres my setup
Recently set up 10gal, Done cycling.
Fine Gravel substrate - nothing special
2 x 15watt flouro bulbs, around 3000k
DIY Co2 - as cheap as you get, 2l bottle and tubing...thats it, i run the tubing into the filter intake as a way of diffusing
Fertilizer - I use Flourish once per week, flourish excel every day, and Flourish iron once per week.
Now i would think with a pretty good set up for live plants that they would be growing very well by now. But they dont seem to be going that crazy. The only real flas i have are the non - 5000k to 7000k lighting, and the cheap Co2 method.
Is they way im diffusing the co2 the right way, just running the tubing into the filter intake? Right now im getting a bubble every 15 to 20 seconds, pretty slow, but it cost me jack didley.
Thanks
