Cool lighting and co2

your 10,000k bulbs and blue actinic are for reef tanks,the only bulbs you should have for plants are 5000 to 6700K that is full spectrum lighting anything abouve 9000 is useless for plants.And as far as you co2 you will have to add a diffuser to this setup or your fish will die.Too much co2 not enough oxygen in water.You only need 2 bubbles every 2 seconds or so.And you should actually have a pressurized system above 25 gallons..imo.Also at night when lights are off I usually run a power head to remove the co2 as plants do not use it at night.
