Reaction co2 is using one of many different reactions to get co2 to be produced. Generally yeast and sugar is used. Since you paid $60 for your co2 unit (not the diffuser) I'm guessing you got the Red Sea unit, which is overprice IMO.
i believe the brand is hydor not red sea, the system came with both the co2 unit and diffuser w/all the connections and tubing i needed... what size light do you think would be ideal for my size tank?
 
I'd recommend you run a double T12 setup. Either that or a 55 or 65W CF light. The hydor co2 unit is probably just a reaction chamber I assume, and 4 bubbles per minute is very low. I personally run 4-6 bubbles per second.
 
HERE ARE THE PLANTS I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE
COULDN'T FIND MY BRAND NEW CAMERA ...:cry: SO THESE ARE FROM MY PHONE.
the first pic(with light on) the plant in front of the anubis.(in the middle of the tank)
the second pic (with light off) leaves have a redish tint to them
then the third is a half decent pic but not sure what it is.

The plant in the first 2 pics is cryptocoryne, possibly/probably wendtii

The plant in the 3rd is a little tough to tell, with the pic quality, but I'm gonna guess a rotala specie.

IT LOOKS LIKE A MARAJUANA PLANT:ROFL:
IF THAT HELPS ANY.
 
The first plant looks like Cryptocoryne wendtii, the second is Cryptocoryne wendtii 'bronze', and the third looks to be Heteranthera zosterifolia, also known as stargrass.

approx. how much light do these kind of plants need?
 
Check up in the plant profiles sticky. If it isn't there, request it in the plant profiles requests thread.
