Okay, thanks to StuckinTexas and CrownMan, my tank actually has plants now

I just started with CO2 and my current BPS is 1.5 and the reactor is a upside down rio with a chamber underneath to churn the CO2.....question, should I put a airstone or something at the end of the tubing to help break the CO2 bubbles?

I have 6x96watts of CF which may be too much currently and I can shut off 2 of the front bulbs

I also just started the PMDD routine but from what I am hearing it may be better to do the EI method. I have the dry ferts: CSM+B, MgsO4, K2So4 and KNo3 With the recipe I have, it said to mix all in the same bottle which is what I did and I dose about 1.25ml daily.

There is still a lot of algae from when I had the tank with no CO2 and my tank broke out all over with the stuff.

Okay, here are the pics....let me know what you think and if you see where I can improve things.

I prefer to premix the fert solutions....Which I need help with since I have no clue what I am doing right now

Thank you!!!

Right side of tank with drop checker ....not sure what the color really tells me as it is slightly green yet slightly yellow which could be too much CO2 exposure







Here is a pic of the left side of the tank

And my CO2 gauge...I bought used and this was pretty much set how I have it now
