Default 29 Gallon Planted

This is my first planted tank. Right now just getting plants going and then going to work on some scaping. Specs Follow:

29 Gallon Tank
130 Watt Current USA Light
Dosing Dry Ferts
+/- ¼ tsp KN03 3x a week
+/- 1/16 tsp KH2P04 3x a week
+/- 1/16 tsp (5ml) Trace Elements 3x a week
50% weekly water change
2 2 Liter Bottles for CO2

Plants : Rotala Sp. Green, Hygrophila Corymbosa Sal, Cryptocoryne Balansae, Red Tiger Lotus, Sagittaria Subulata, Amazon Sword, Java Fern, Lilaeopsis Mauritius, Aponogeton Crispus, Cryphocoryne Wedtii, Lobelia Cardinalis Small, Hygrophila Difformis, Potamogeton Gayii, Rotala Rotundifolia, Camomba Caroliniana still trying to think of a great carpet because this Lila Maur just isn't growing worth anything for me maybe pressurized CO2 will help.

Just got in a Milwaukee CO2 Regulator today going to install it Monday when i can get a CO2 tank. Also have a glass drop check and diffuser comming in Monday.


Any Comments or suggestions are welcome.

Very nice start. Can you tell me where you got your light. I also have a 29g and want to use more watts. How much are they if you don't mind? Thanks.

Ok i got my pressurized CO2 working and its injecting i think at 2 BPS. Well i did a PH test and it still shows the same thing whats going on here? Also do you think it would be a good idea when i get the CO2 straight to kick my lighting up from 65watts to 130?
