I have ordered some plants online and they should be arriving on wedsneday. i was wondering when i should start adding my supplements and co2 to the tank. i have flourish, flourish excel, and flourish iron. also how much of each for 20 gallon aquarium. and i am also doing a diy co2 unit, when should i start adding that to my tank. thanks
 
A little tip:
If you have a HOB filter, make sure the water level remains above where the water flows out of - it greatly reduces surface agitation.
I didn't know this and since I've been keeping the water level about the output, my plants have gained a few centimeters!
 
thanks for the advice redwall. what exactly does that do to the plants. when you say less surface agitation, how does that help the plants.
 
the less surface agitation the less the outgassing of the co2
