Does this apply when a glass topper is in place too?
I had read that if I leave my bubbler off it would increase the co2 in the water column and lower the pH (it seems to by .2-.4). I just figured it applied to planted tanks too.

You could use a small bunch of Water Sprite for fry. I had some in and place it so one of my filter outputs "pushed" it to the left front corner of my DT (no plants under there). If it left the area, it would stay bunched up and kinda floated around so it never permanently shaded any one area and it's much better than Anacharis for fry IME.
