OK, I'm about the same, but a little higher level so will bring that down, thanks

OK thanks so far, clear guidance and the 'Cycling' thread was a help too. Was planning to cut the lighting a little, is it best to do 'intensity' or 'amount of time on'?

...and what about ferts? Should they go in as well or wait for any ammonia spikes first.

thanks all, I'll crank it up then...

First round of plants (about 60%) are in place, should I start CO2 now or let things settle down first?

OK, back to original account now. Returned regulator to Aquatic Design Centre and they have sorted it for me. :-) Whilst waiting I saw some amazing tree roots and they've inspired me to start again with a new layout. Here we go again! Thanks for the help guys, will post progress pictures.

Thanks a lot Ady. I'll keep an eye out for the elusive pearling. Sounds like more chance has come from the substantial water change and maybe the Easycarbo addition but we'll see. thanks

OK. Cheers Ady I read somewhere that pearling is helped by a major water change, if I remeber rightly, by cleansing the plants is that true?

Pearling is a rare sight in my tank but have increased the CO2 bubble rate a fraction but also added a little EasyCarbo after a major water change. Several plants are pearling and although it's an exciting sight does it mean my levels are right or a little high?
