DIY co2 for such a large tank would be difficult to maintain.

We can do it but it will require 4 to 5 2l bottles of diy co2
Or
You can do pressurised one

Go for Liquid or Pressurized CO2 in place of DIY. It is not effective in big aquariums.

HC wont grow without very high light, last year i did a lot of experiments on Growing HC, it grows slowly and if parameters (Co2, Light and fetrz) are not good, its leaves starts turning Yellow and then entire plant vanishes and decays.
as per my Experiment, if you do a daily 10% water change then very less CO2 is required for HC (Glut/Excel works fine), however it requires very bright light.

Hi!
Now I replaced 20w CFL with 36W PLL. the present config is 2 X 14w T5 & 1 X 36W PLL = 64W. is it sufficient for my aqua.. I've also started dosing Glut (Cidex) 2ml thrice a week and setting up DIY CO2. Should I do anything else for my p[lants to grow? Im also changing 30% water twice weekly with RO water.

What is the Cidex solution %. It thought it will around 2% solution and 2ml is not enough for your tank.

Vals won't grow well with glut.
