  I have tried since the begining to have a low bi-load,  I hope this is not
Combustable but to me haveing an overstocked tank is not natrual.  Most Plant
lovers would agree, I Lurk B-|   If I could make my tank so, I would love it.
 But it's hard for me not to tune the cat guts :-)

>>>>Run with it man!  Run!  Any CO2 is better than _NO_ CO2!  I think
you will see an improvement. (I am assuming that you have at least
REASONABLE light.)<<<<

I have the system running but it seems that I'm getting an uneven bubble
flow, day to day,  will this effect my pH. over time or stress my loved one?

 I will take your advice and ix-na the powerhead.
>>>>>>>>> So how are you running your CO2 into the tank? >>>>>>>
line into the tank with an airstone at the end which is inside of a baby food
jar, some bubbles get traped in for a minute then one middem bubble, others
small bubbles just move on up>>>>>>>>

I, I, I can't I need to be with my fish :)
>>>proportional- increasing only one or two will probably result in algae
outbreaks.>>
  this is true because I am showing sign of getting of different algae
growth,  If my eyes are good and the info. holds true, I'm getting blue algae
and tread algae... :-(

test kit. >>>
