The yeast CO2 should help your Echinodorus establish itself. I wuld
start with two 2-liter bottles, and inject the CO2 into the Magnum
250. The Vortex might clog up too soon, and the Aquaclears don't do
as good a job dissolving the CO2 as the Magnum.

Some people have success with garden soil used in small quantity (say
1 part to three parts of gravel) in the bottom third of the tank. It
is best if the soil does not contain too much organic material.
