injecting co2 in a non co2 tank!! - 11-15-2006, 01:50 AM

Hi all.
I have a 90 gal. low tech tank with 1.5 WPG shop light.
Recently I was wondering what would I expect to see if I injected co2 in this tank ,so I went for it last weekend and set it up with a power head mist.
I know Tom Barr mentioned that any FW tank will benefit from co2 injection,this tank is full of stem plants and a couple of Java ferns and Belleri swords ,I was adding Excell before but now stopped and it's only co2 ,no ferts ,about 40 small fish.
So I guess I am asking :what should I expect to see in terms of plant growth?with less than 2 WPG will I see faster growth ? should I increase the light period from 9HRS to 11HRS ?
Any input will be appreciated.
Ken.
