yeah... if you want to see plants growing inches in a week, use a presurized co2 system. ofcourse, then you need to start fertilizng the water column with fertilizers; potassium nitrate, potassium sulfate, and then monopotassium phosphate. i can give you levels on this if you decide to do it...or alternatively you can use a specialty aquarium soil designed to grow plants in the presence of additional co2 like nothing you have ever seen in your aquarium, and then there is a decreased need to fertilize the water column.

macro shrimp shots
these are cherry shrimp on a real living lawn of underwater plants. the shrimp are about dime sized and breed easily in freshwater. neat little things, and really fun to photo.
