Default Free C02 regulator

Oh,,, you called me a name! That was nice was it... eh.

Read on,,,

First!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Co2 pump are so easy to make why would anyone pay for one???????????????
Simply take a pop bottle and drill a hole in the cap to fit a
air line... and glue air line connector to the cap and attach a airline to
the connector. And your done.
Fill with 1/4 sugar, 1 tsp yeast, and Optionally 1 tsp baking soda to slow
the process. Add water up to 2/3 of the bottle and place the FREE Co2 PUMP
in a place where it can't be knocked over and pump liquid waste directly
into your aquarium. Put the other end of the airline hose through and under
your undergravel filter where there is lots of surface area for the gas to
exchange.

Second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It all depends on how thoughtful you are to your fish.
Please, Please Read Tropical Fishlopaedia
A Complete Guide to Fish Care
Author Mary Bailey and Peter Burgress.
This book states,,, On page98,,, heading
Factors Affecting oxygen content of Water

Quoted from the book:
"C02 injection. In recent years some aquarists have used this process,
whereby carbon dioxide is added (from a gas cylinder) to the aquarium, in
order to promote plant growth. CO2 injection must be used with considerable
care, if at all. Remember that high CO2 levels may reduce the oxygen uptake
of the water and lead to a risk of hypoxia in the fish, especially if the
aquarium is crowded and /or the fish include species with a high oxygen
requirement. Some aquarists try to get round this problem by using
additional aeration, but, while this will certainly increase the oxygen
content and benefit the fish, it will at the same time drive off the carbon
dioxide, making the CO2 injection a rather pointless exercise! CO2 injection
should always be turned off at night - When the plants do not need it."

Third!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for Requesting me to Explain Fully.

You can put down the crack pipe anytime.. no need to turn of Co2 at night,
wive's tale... photosynthesis takes care of oxygen release, and many years
now fish have been living thru the night with Co2...
