Black Out Completed - Have Problems with CO2 Regulator - Aquarium Advice

LindaC · 07-13-2006, 11:47 AM

I uncovered my tank after a 3 day blackout to find nice clear water. I did another 50% water change and adding 1/2 tsp baking soda to raise KH, I also doesed Mag, KNO3, Potassium and Phosphate, but now I have no CO2 going into the tank because I believe my husband blew out my Milwaukee all in one regulator. Will this cause problems, have all these ferts in the tank with no CO2 and low to medium lighting, just under 2 wpg? I added some Flourish Excel last night, just so there would be some carbon in there for the plants.

I'm telling you, there's always something, I can't seem to win here.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Linda

Excel sure won't hurt, as long as you don't have vallisneria or anacharis, as these are sensitive to Excel's main ingredient.
