Hi everyone lam very new to planted aquariums ive set up a jewel 180 tank up subsyrate is jbl proscape lighting is 2 t5 daylight tubes using pressurised co2.only plants are monti carlo at the moment this tank was set up 5 days ago. My main question is i have a drop checker in which turns dark green aprox 30 mins before lights go on it goes to pale green co2 is on for 4 hours .in the morning the DC is a darker green.from what i have read blue is not enough co2 green is ok and yellow is to high. As i have no fish in the tank shall i try and push more co2 until DC goes yellow and then back off a little. I just want to try and give the plants a good start i have done 2 30% water changes and plan another one tomorrow for first 2 weeks i plan to have lights on for 6 hours then on week 3 increase to to 7.please feel free to correct me if any of the above is wrong
thanks steve
