Thank you Hoppy. My current bubble rate is 3bps and I did see bubbles forming behind the java fern and bolbitus, but I have cranked it up now, I can't tell how many as it is pretty fast, let's see what happens. Next week I will be adding shrimps and Ottos, so till then I can play around with it. I do however switch off the CO2 at night, should I leave it on 24/7? BTW the KH is still below 1ppm.
