Frogbit floaters do wonders with strong lighting!

Looks good man! What equipment did you buy for the diy co2 and how much did it cost in total? Also im wondering why are you in need of a second bottle?

I bought a Fluval diffuser and bubble counter...that was a total of $9.00 on Amazon. Then I went to Wal Mart and bought the yeast, tubing, suction cups and check valve...about $5 total. I then used a left over apple juice bottle and some silicone I had around the house (the green stuff is play doh that I then put silicone over). I have gotten some great growth so far...especially out of the microswords...I woke up this morning and they had shoots that had spread out about an inch.
