60% water change today and started dry ferts. I also moved the spray bars and hope to get better co2 dispersion. The plants are still jumbled. I wanted to see what was gonna grow for me before i started arranging things the way i want them. I guess i should add a list of equipment also since this is my journal.

Tank: 55 gallon Deep Blue with spray painted back panel
Filtration: Eheim Pro3 2071 and an Aquatop CF500UV
Lighting: Aquaticlife 2 X 54w fixture with a 6700K bulb and a rosette bulb
Substrate: Flourite black
CO2: 5lb. Cannister/ dual stage regulator/ inline check valve
Diffusion: GLA inline atomic diffuser
Heating: Inline ETH300
Fertilizers: Dry ferts dosed dry daily

One of my platys had a small batch of fry. I see about 3 survivors after a week or so. I started taking a little tank water in a cup and mixing my ferts before dosing the tank after melting a plant. Added 10the juevie cardinal tetras to the tank yesterday. Looks like about nine of them are active and unphased by the transportation/acclimation . One of them is MIA. Doing 50% water change every saturday before lights on.

Also, if anyone is still reading, i really would like some advice on plant placement. As you can see i am lost.
