Because you are just feeding into a power head, should you really have that much back pressure in your bottle, do you possibly have the check valve on backwards ? if so you are not getting any CO2 output at all and the bottle will eventually pop. I feed into a glass ceramic diffuser and you do need to build pressure with these to force the gass through the disk ?
Very nice tank but… About the CO2 dosing; you loose a lot of gas and the saturation is less than you expect. I did it ones by plug the CO2 pipe direct to power head. Looks nice but it is not so effective. And one more think – the bottom. For this type of plants (other also) this bottom is really bad. Roots can’t hook and the density is too much. Sand is good for no plants tanks, like Black African Water environment. I wish you best about it but you can expect big problems with rotten roots.
