The only way to get better ground cover is to get the navy seals LOL looks great, keep it up :)

Gorgeous!

Curious as to how you get 30 ppm of CO2 with DIY CO2? I'm assuming by DIY you mean the yeast method.
 
Thank you!
Growing ground cover plant look easy... until now...UG is a difficult plant. I hope to succeed...
For CO2 I use 4 bottles, (apox 0,6 G each):
2 bottles connected to the external reactor. A bottle from these is changed once a week with a fresh one.
2 bottles for a CO2 diffuser. A bottle from this is changed once a week with the bottle come for external reactor, (the replaced one). So I make a new bottle every week. The reaction takes about 3-4 weeks (it depends on the temperature) , but in a first 2 weeks are stronger, so I put freshest bottles to external reactor, and oldest to CO2 diffuzer. I have about 2 bps in reactor and 1 bps in diffuser all the time...

That is one of the most extensive DIY systems I have heard of.
 
For now this is the situation. I will try a new setup very soon, but I don"t know exactly when.

Now I have CO2 pressurized via 2,5 G cylinder. Neon tetra have been replaced with 20 tetra amandae ...
