thanks guys. it was a great find at my LFS. its a very small place nearby with nothing at all, but occasionally have good wood.
CO2 reactor works great IMO. i dont have to wory about my flow to distribute the mist, because the CO2 is weakly bound with the water. and i dont have to put a diffuser in the tank.
well, i planted. the tank is a soupy color, but it should go away. planting crypts is hell.
i had a bunch of extra crypts, lilleaopsis, and ferns, so pm or look in the swap and shop if you are interested. the ferns and lilleaopsis were bleached, but i wont ship anything until wednesday, and adverse affects should be visible before then.
here are some pics:
