You will want to limit o2 and surface agitation in the tank during the
light hours or you will be losing most of your co2.

Many Thanks for the replies, they are appreciated.

I've been wondering about something regarding my powerhead, this may be a
silly question but I'll ask anyway . . .

You can see a picture of my powerhead at:

I've been using my powerhead to areate the tank. Looking at the above
picture(s) you can see how the airline connects to the output (exhaust). I
am able to control the amount of air injected from a large amount to a small
amount. In terms of CO2, could I just connect the tube from the CO2 bottle
I'd have to where the air intake tube is now connected? Would this work? I
have a feeling that "where" I'd actually connect my CO2 line is completely
different, but I just had to ask. If I am "way off base" as to how I'd
connect my powerhead please tell me, since this has been the crux of my
confusion regarding CO2 with a powerhead.

Also, the Output with air for my particular powerhead is: 1324 L / 350 U.S.
gal per hour. With CO2 connected would this be too much for my tank? Should
I get a smaller powerhead for CO2 and keep the one I have now aerating? OR
should I just use the powerhead I have now for CO2 and get a smaller
powerhead for aeration purposes? Is the idea of using dual powerheads
simultaneously (one for CO2 and one for aeration) even a good idea?

Many Thanks In Advance . . . it's appreciated.
