Nice green but growth rate is slow.

What you have achieved with diy co2 here is remarkable.
As far as growth is healthy I wouldnt worry about the pace. I personally prefer slower to faster growth.

I love the gravel you have used here. What is it and where did you source it from? Did you sieve/filter it yourself to get 2mm and 5mm grain sizes?

Leak, but it did sound like a blast, like as if someone fired a bullet... it was frustrating...
