![]() ![]() Ps The pic attached is the only one I have on my phone. If you have high levels of surface agitation at night, and turn off your co2 when the lghts are off, the fish shouldn't be gasping, no matter how much co2 your plants are giving off at night. If you have high levels of light, and use co2, don't forget to dose ferts on a regular basis( i do it with water changes) or algae can be an issue.īut really, most importantly, back to the top: surface agitation. i also use a drop checker, and even though they're not 100% accurate, I can get a fairly good estimation of the co2 levels. Leaving the co2 on at night gets dangerous, and you can really **** up the ph level if you keep it running full blast all day and night. I dose ferts after my water changes, and turn the co2 off at night. The most important thing I've learned is to have more than adequate surface agitation(i like to create white water) and turn up myco2 to compensate for the additional gas exchange(especially if you have sensitive fish or inverts). I run Co2 on my 8 gallon fluval flora(fluval co2 88).
