gah... means setting the alarm 10 mins earlier >.> ... oh well =D

DIY pressurized is about £80 start up? and £20 refill lasts about a year?

easycarbo is £20 for 2L witch would last 4 years.

i think its like 3.2 WPG of T5

this is the tank its going in http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/376235-2f-tank-journal/page__p__3149198__fromsearch__1#entry3149198

Ah your UK.... Prices are quiet different for you then. Pressurized CO2 is much cheaper over here. Both the systems and the CO2 it seems...

Your light levels sound like a PITA to me lol. I use 3wpg but not with T5's. I'd personally remove a bulb unless your dead set on growing ricca and HC.

its only got 2 bulbs and id like to grow riccia and HC (or attempt to)

i want to use carbon (its a first time for me so its something new and i want to see the effect of it)

liquid carbon kills off algae. but does it kill off moss's? and riccia? or some plants?

Yes overdosing with carbon has detrimental effects on moss but found riccia loves it... general plants ive never seen any difference in condition with overdosing.

Yeah it does have a negative effect on some plants. My java is fine with it. I've never tried the other two. But my subwassertang hates the stuff thats in excel.

xmas ,weeping moss , and java moss (not overdoesing) would it effect them in a good or bad way

You have to remeber most mosses prefer lower light so the introducing of excess co2 most of the time is very unnecessary... however if you have high levels of light..like any other plant.. it will require stable conditions, sufficient co2 and good maintenance. The only problem here if not using pressurised co2 is the amount of carbon that is actually required and yes mosses in general can be badly affected by excess/overdosing amounts... however to you question... if you dont overdosed then no it wont have much of of an effect on the moss apart from in a good way... but finding the balance of high light, good fert regime and just carbon could be a problem with moss.
