My buddy who does all planted tanks set this up. The reason being is that plants do need some time once the lights come on to begin photosynthesis. In order to get the best results from his experience, the plants warm up for a bit and then we add CO2. The plants will absorb it better and you will see increased growth. I believe that he got this right since the growth on the plants is crazy fast.

I agree with him. I said to keep the "On" cycle--add CO2 an hour after lights come on, but without light, the CO2 is not needed. So turn off CO2 when lights go off.
My CO2 indicator arrived today. I will get the reading and post it as soon as I have it.
After looking at the tank the trident java is where the dead spot is. I'm going to add a powerhead to help move the water a little more.
But why is it showing up in areas that are moving pretty well?

I got the co2 indicator working and right now all is good in the tank. I moved one outlet to help circulate the water better near the java fern.
