AWESOMMEEE...
My tank levels are perfect.
pH = 7
kH = 6d
GH = <6>10
no2- = 0
no3- = 10mg/l

YEShhhhh....Testing Co2 Levels now
yes... about 7 mg/l ...might want to up it a bit
Lights are coming in soon. Peter is helping me design and build a extra stand. wOOt

Reminder to self : test co2 in the night cycle, co2 levels might spike, especially with un regulated pressure due to cold day cycle, warm night cycle.

Heres the cycle, night time is during the DAY. and no air con on. Thus, Pressurized co2 bottle will rise in pressure, and output will be steeper. Also, night time cycle, plants are not utilizing as much co2., co2 levels shld spike considerably. Check .

Day cycle is during the night ( 6pm - 3am) - air con is on - pressure drops in bottle,

Might want to get a solenoid regulator, but at high price, will have to check levels to see if it is important.

Have thus far implemented 2 hr light cycle during the "night " cycle to activate plants photosynthesis, hopefully will reduce co2 spikes

Reminder :
Check co2 levels b4 light cycle. ( b4 11am)
check co2 leves after light cycle ( after 2pm)

amazon type plant bloomed as well
