Thanks, I run 4 bulbs a couple hours and then all 8 for 7 hours and then 4 for a couple hours.
I have been dosing the Wonder-Gro product, but cost started adding up and going with the dry route.
I'm diffusing the CO2 using a Mag9.5 needle wheel. The output goes down the middle of the tank about 2" off the bottom and then in both directions about 5".
I try and keep the double checker in the green to slightly yellow. But with my well water (inconsistent) the CO2 varies. Will be using RO water once the setup gets here.
I do have some BBA in some low flow areas. Have some power heads coming to increase flow in those areas.
I'm running two Eheim 2028's for filtration.
Also another Mag9.5 running the 25W UV.

Thanks,
Matt
