CO2 - Here's the straight sh*(
DO NOT USE CO2 - This is no troll - I've tried for one year now and it
makes black hair algae grow like mad - save yourself money and trouble. Just don't do it. Depends on your lighting. CO2 isn't necessary for a low-light tank. But for a high-light tank (over 3 wpg), it's essential. That much light without CO2 will not cause algae problems, it may also lead to pH swings severe enough to kill your fish. Though studies have shown that CO2 helps moderate-light tanks, possibly even more than high-light tanks, IME, it's not worth it. The plants grow fine without it, the pH is stable, and all CO2 gets you more time pruning. So if you have 2 wpg or less over your tank, then yes, your life may be easier without CO2.
