@wlvsftbllplyr good suggestions, thanks. I wanted to run a power head/internal but it would have taken up too much room and looked ugly in this setup, but it worked out great on my 55. My goal it to see if natural light/dirt is enough. I am curious to see if this plant really does need all that CO2 "help" or if dirt and sun will break the preconceptions. If it fails, it was not meant to be and I will swap it out for a dwarf sag.
