Hopefully here is apicture of tank after I added a few new plants and the D&D CO2 injection system about 3 weeks ago. I have just replaced all the light tubes as well and the plants are growing really fast now.

anyway good job on the tank it looks topsAt the moment I am running the CO2 at about a bubble a second when the ligths are on and add leafzone by aquarium pharmaceuticals inc. at the recommended dosage.

The lighting is by one powerglo and 3 aquaglo (all new tubes as I have just replaced the tubes that came with the tank). They are on a split lighting period of 5 hours on 2 off and 5 on as this, hopefully, will help control any algae as suggested on this and other forums that I have read.

It seems to work OK for me as the plants bubble during the lighting period and seem to be growing very nicely now. I have only had the pressurised CO2 for about a month and the difference it makes is very noticable.
