can you dose seltzer water into an aquarium?

[Niccobacci11]

have some dwarf baby tears that are not growing as fast as they should be and was wondering if I can dose some sulzer water in to the aquarium.
sulzer is water with co2 already diffused within the water.
will it hurt the fish?
will it help at all?

any responses would be helpful.

You can but there is a lot of questions as to if it would help. It would be cheaper to just do a diy CO2. It isn't hard to do. I saw on another board that someone was using their Sodastream to make carbonated water for their tank. No idea of how it worked out though. Just be care and do not add a lot at once. It could hurt the fish if you added too much.

Unfortunately, the CO2 will leave the tank before much of it is used by the plants. You need to continuously add CO2 to a tank to get benefit from it.


The little seltzer tablets are also scams.
