Tank looks great.  New fish settled and look healthy.  They did not look good to start with.
Swords look better with consistent addition of water column ferts plus Excel.  Good pearling of plants.
Need to clean filter.
40% water change tonight and added 1 1/2 tsp baking soda and ferts incl 2 large caps Excel bc I see a number of spots of beard algae.

Nitrates, ammonia 0.
pH 6.8
KH 3gtts=30ppm
GH 4 gtts=80ppm

By calculator CO2 =8.08ppm.  Suggested goal is 15ppm.
