Vaughn,

Thank you for the feedback. The current occupants of the tank are:
1x Laceleaf (fairly large)
1x Red Rubin Sword
1x Anubias barteri
1x Cryptocoryne wendii
10-14x Wysteria (planted in two fairly close knit bunches)
4x Cabomba carolininea

I have to admit some confusion over your answer regarding yeast not being bacteria. My understanding is that though yeast itself is not a bacteria, the process of fermentation that occurs using the DIY yeast method is indeed a bacterial process. Bacteria consume the sugar and as a by product release CO2. Of course, I have noticed that whatever chlorine content is in my water, it has not hampered my CO2 output in any way. I have been debating on hooking up my CO2 cyclinder and regulating CO2 to 25-30ppm but since this tank has no fish in it at this time, I did not think that any CO2 fluctiations (high or low) would be of any serious impact.

I followed your advice and added liquid ferts based on the EI method. I have stocks of PMDD ferts from a previous planted tank.

The algae problem to date has been insignificant, but I agree with you that any disturbance of the substrate would most likely change that quickly. I'll try taking one of the bulbs out and monitoring the progress of the plants.
