This is my 1st attempt at DSM and a planted tank with CO2.
I've read a good deal of threads over the net on pressurized CO2 and decided to build my own DSR.
DSM was 3 months, mostly because my regulator parts took a while to get here.
Equipment
Tank: ADA 60P (60x30x36)
Filter: ADA SuperJet ES600
Lighting: Arcadia 2x24W (Will be using a Sunrise 20W LED)
Heater: Hydor 200w in line
Substrate: AS I and AS I powder type.
CO2: VTS253A-1993 with a 2kg CO2 tank.
Flora: HC for the foreground, Staro Repens, more to come
Day 1
Week 2
Week 3
3rd week pictures.

Left side (side view)
Right side (side view)
Week 5 (had some melt but nothing to worry about)
FTS
Right corner
Left corner (was not growing the way I wanted.)
Center
Week 7
At this point the DW on the left side was taken out and the staro started growing better.
Week 10
FTS
Left side
The staro is actually spreading over the coconut, with HC covering the front.
Side shot
As of yesterday
FTS
HC looks to be doing good.
Equipment
Close up of the regulator
Thanks for looking.
