that would be the one! lets see if you can get it for a low price :)

and about the whole co2 injection. i have had two planted tanks running at the same time. one was low light w/o co2 (only Excel) and the other was a high light / pressurized setup.

needless to say, the plants in the high tech tank grow like weeds, i have to trim more than once a week. i had a few bunches of anubias in the tank with no co2. they would sprout a new leaf maybe once every three weeks.

after i tore down this tank, i moved the anubias to the tank with co2. the anubias have erupted with crazy growth. they send out leaves like crazy and the roots have sprouted like mad and dug themselves well into the substrate.

with co2 comes more work and more nutrients required, but the growth of your plants will make it all worth it
 
Thanks alot for your help. I'm gonna continue to look into getting the injection system for this new tank. We shall see what happens. Still unsure about the PH. Getting good info from both sides. I do have a good discus buffer though so in the end I probably run the tank for a while and monitor it before the discus go in.
 
Thank you my friend. One of the few projects of mine that I have actually finished to completion and still like it. I usually dislike everything I finish
