wow wow wow! very nice scape! Are you using liquid or dry ferts?

Liquid - SeaChem Flourish (twice a week after water change), Flourish Excel (daily), Iron (4 times a week); Pfertz Potassium (daily, double dose after water change), Phosphorus (daily, double dose after water change), and Nitrogen (daily, double dose after water change) - all from forum feedbacks and research on this board.

awesome. Co2?

Co2 pressurized with a Milwaukee regulator / bubble counter. 140 bpm (2.2 bps) with a ladder. Kicks on when lights come on and off when the lights go off. My Co2 ppm runs about 23.

I also split the photoperiod. Lights are on from 8am until 1pm; off from 1pm until 3pm; and then on again from 3pm until 8pm (10 hours total, 7 days a week).
