I've been planning on upgrading to using CO2 in my 75 gallon tank, but I wasn't sure how injecting CO2 would affect the oxygen levels... Normally I run a 20 inch bubble wall 24/7, but I know I would need to turn that off while the lights and CO2 are running. Would the lack of bubble wall be made up for by the increased oxygen production by the plants? Or is there some other way to keep the oxygen levels high without gassing out the CO2?
I ask because I have a hillstream loach that has higher oxygen requirements than your average fish and I just want to double check that he'll still have his needs met when I make the switch... I'm guessing he should still be fine, but I'd rather not put a lot of money into a CO2 system first just to find out he's struggling in the new setup.
