Thanks! I am running compressed co2 and doing E.I. dosing. It's my first full blown attempt at a planted tank. The idea is to grow out plants in the ten for the 75. I bought the pleco from a member here on the site, and I just love him. The plants are showing bubbles ok the leaves too. Is that pearling?

If you decide to use a black background,your flora and fauna will stand out.
Nice looking start!

Thanks guys!

Quick question though, can I or should I add another drop light with a cfl 6500k daylight 13w? The frog bit is blocking some light is why I ask.

Looking good! Those plants that you have in the front are going to get tall, I'd move them more to the bank and stick with something low in the front...Subwassertang (a kind of moss) or pelia (a kind of liverwort, I think) would do nicely :)

Yeah that must be pearling. .

Don't think so. Pearling is a constant flow of bubbles. If it's just under the leaves, it's probably either CO2 trying to off gas, and getting trapped by the leaf, or it's air that got added to the tank with a water change. If you shake the leaf until the bubbles are gone, and they reappear, repeatedly, then yes, it's likely to be pearling. Otherwise, not so much.
