You could push the flow down from the outlet which will keep more Co2 in the water column!

Plants turning black

Hi all,
If you are adding CO2, the plants can only make use of that extra CO2 if their growth isn't nutrient limited by the <"deficiency of another nutrient">. Personally I'm <"too mean"> to buy <"Aquarium"> Fertilisers. Have a look at the links in <"Low-tech 90P with old Tropica aqua soil">.
In some ways the same applies to light, rather than limiting its duration (or intensity) I use a floating plant <"as a net curtain">, and I use <"a long photoperiod">.

This <"TNC Complete 5L"> should be better.

At that point it becomes <"slightly more problematic">, but have a look at <"Should i start to fertilize?"> and links and <"From Reef to Nature Aquarium a journey">

Hello darrel.
I have got "some" although not enough floating plants to create a curtain. I am changing my fert to the tnc you have posted that's for sure! I really do need to go to complete to benefit the most from the c02 system, its evident every where I look.
I'm going to get my head right into this forum and gain as much knowledge has possible.
Thanks buddy
