I really enjoyed visiting your website http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua
although I would like to chatt about the difference between beautiful
planted aquariums and beautiful planted aquariums with a CO2 pump
and Fishkeeping.

Not sure what you mean here, by all my tanks are PLANTED fish tanks.
And the first are my first concern. I've got rainbows and cories that
I can't stop from breeding.
Completely false at levels encountered in our aquariums. CO2 levels
elevated to the levels used for planted aquaria (40ppm max) will not
prevent any absorption of O2.

Wrong, it make sense that 40ppm could be oxygen which is replaced
with CO2. As stated above.

No, decreasing the CO2 level will not allow more O2 to dissolve into
the water. It just doesn't work that way.

Cannot absorb any more oxygen,,, Thank you for pointing that out.
Your right again, 40ppm is the CO2 that has attached itself to the

You keep trying, but this is NOT the case. It is a common
misconception that water can hold only so much
dissolved gas and adding CO2 will displace oxygen.
