Is this Plan "C" (for Cat)?

I think it's more plan 'B' for: If you *astard plants don't grow after everything I've done for you, I will kill you all and let Dog sort it out.

(Not that I would willfully cause harm to an aquarium plant or any other plant life form ism....)

I don't post a lot here..most of you are lightyears ahead of me..but I have learned a great deal.
being one of those mechanical types with the, got to see it and figure out how it works kind of guys..I purchased a redsea paintball CO2 system. okay now that Isee how these systems are set up..everything I have read make a lot more sense.

the redsea kit came with a CO2 monitor aka drop check device..Hoppy's control of using distilled water and adjusting the dkh made more sense to me than using the aquarium water..I adjusted the needle valve to get the monitor to green..no ill effects of co2 on the discus(one main reason I wanted to keep a close eye on the CO2 levels..discus ain't cheap) by the ned of the first day..the plants were pearling..I had never seen this before..wowof copurse now I get to figure out fertilizers..
