Heh, I just use 2 1.75L Southern Comfort bottles and a CO2 ladder
1/2 tablespoon of brewers yeast and 1.5 cups sugar. Seems to do the trick. What really got my plants to start going insane was my lighting. I read somewhere about High Output CFLs. Cheap and easy. They weren't SUPER easy for me to find, but I found them. I'll try to find some links to them. I have 2 but only use one on the left side of the tank to give my fish somewhere darker to linger if they feel stressed. I'll find a link to what I read.
Thanks for the kind words!

I know this website is trying to sell ya stuff but I've read a ton of the articles on that site and agree with most of it. Very sound advice imho. I've also ordered from this site and have nothing but good things to say about the products I've received.
