3 week update on 40 planted

[Infuzion912]

Ok so I switched my lighting to 260 watts of 6500k light. I'm running DIY co2 at a rate of about 5 bubbles per sec. This aquarium in dirted and has been doing exceptionally well! The only down side I have notices in dirting is that the tannins released from the dirt make your water look like tea in about a week... If your going for a black water biotope then you shouldn't mind... I just like really clear water! I'm only doing water changes every two weeks since there are no fish currently in the aquarium. Let me know what you think!

^ Not bad... looks pretty clean, have you got a before pic for comparison?

Also, just curious, do you plan on adding any fish in there at some point? the reason i ask is running 5bps of Co2 sounds like quite a bit if the tank isn't too big, although if its just for plants, then i'm sure they are absolutely loving the extra Co2 in the water...
