Also, what bubble rate are you running on your CO2 setup? I currently have mine piped into the impeller chamber of the filter but I have the same glass diffusers lying around and wonder if the diffusion rate would be better or worse.
the moss is a lot of fun towards the middle. the way it's setup the outflow of the filter shoots down between the rocks and pushes the moss towards the foreground. So I have what looks like moss runners, but they're actually created by the current. I'm gonna do a clipping in a couple weeks and maybe resew that moss to some new mesh...measure it and fill the rest of the tank in. No rush though.

I currently have my CO2 running around one bubble every 10-12 seconds into the diffuser. I added a little bit of h2o in the glass diffuser which has been working like a bubble counter. I've got the 5lb tank setup and according to my gauge...my c02 may run out sometime in the next year...or two.

It's nice to have a consistent amount...helps when trying to balance everything else in the tank...namely the nutrients now
