Night time aeration
Hello,
I have a heavily planted 30 gallon tank with high-pressure CO2 injection. I don't have any shutoff valves on the co2 to control output in the evening when the lights are out, so I run my air pump and drive a good amount of air through my coil air stone for several hours to try and level off the co2 in the water.. Is this a good idea, or not really recommended? Thanks, Troy |

Is this a good idea, or not really recommended? A lot of people do this. Each tank is different, of course, but if it works for you, great. I like to set both my aeration and surface turbulence high enough that I can have both running all the time, without the CO2 getting too high at night or too low during the day. Some Co2 is wasted this way, but if you have compressed CO2, refills are fairly cheap. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
