If you do a search for Drop checkers you'll find loads of threads all about them and using them that will go into way more detail, but, as a quick answer, I find it takes an hour or two for the solution to turn to the 'right' colour. IT depends on your drop checker design and amount of solution IME.

It's filling in nicely. I really like how the left side with the plants around the wood looks. The right just needs to grow a bit more. I also like your new foreground plant on the right, it seems to fit better with the hairgrass. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's all grown in.

Hi Patrick. Nice looking tank. Should you decide to ad the additional 65watts, you might want to do it for short periods each day to mimick high noon conditions. I don't believe any of the plants that you have are really demanding of High Light conditions. You might run the 65watts for several hours then bump it up to 130watts for a couple of hours then back it down to 65watts for the remainder of the time that you have them on. Remember, if you have your lighting too high and your CO2 or ferts not correct, this will result in massive algea outbreak.

As far as the 2bps, this should be alright. Keep an eye on the CO2 ppm and should it get above 25-30 you might want to drop it down to 1bps. There are online calculators that will figure your PPM based on your PH and your KH. Hope this helps!
