What are the Benefits of having no hood like this:?
risk of ph crash is dramatically reduced
the lack of fresh air getting to the surface of the water to offgas the co2 can cause the ph to drop. I've had it happen to me. I'm sure somebody could probably tell you in a really hard to understand chemical way how it all works, but basically co2 somehow causes the ph to drop, so if it cant exchange the co2 for oxygen at the surface, the ph has nowhere to go but down...risk of ph crash?
