As for the CO2, I got this Nurafin canister which comes with a dispenser, so i am using that. Just install a CO2 indicator today from Sera. CO2 level looks good.Also just bought this bio-ball type of diffuser today, might use that later.
My 3ft tank layout is attached, where :
1. Synema triflorum(I think)
2. water wisteria (hygrophila)
3. Vallis
4. Ludwigia
5. swordplant
sorry could not get a picture, hopefully I could borrow a digital camera.

Hi Lawrence,
How many watt per US gallon you have there for your 3ft tank?
Hygro, Vallis and ludwigia are all fast growers. They will use up most of the nutrients available given sufficient light and CO2. I don't rely on CO2 indicator. Instead, I depend on KH and pH tester to tell me the exact amount of CO2. One thing to cautious you about the CO2 indicator - always check and ensure no bubble trapped underneath the indicator. Else, it will give you false reading.
Frankly speaking, I don't think the Nutrafin stuff is sufficient for a 3ft tank. Unless you're going for low light approach, which is less than 1.5W/USG. If you're going for low light approach, you can give the following foreground plants a try:-
1. Anubias nana
2. Cryptocoryne Wenditi
3. Cryptocoryne Parva
4. Moss
