Early on I did measure the pH before and after adding DIY CO2 and I did not notice much of a drop. I ended up getting drop checker and surprisingly it would turn green (ideal amount of CO2) when I piped the DIY CO2 into the HOB filter.
Ok, i could be wrong here, I think I read on tpt that more sugar will produce less co2 over a longer period, more yeast will yield more co2 over a shorter period. Please double check that..

I don't have experience with RCS and CO2 but here is a link to a discussion on the topic: TPT:CO2 and cherry red shrimp
I believe when used in moderation (this includes Excel/Glut) then it should be fine.
Well after reading that discussion im sorta thinking ill leave off the co2 since ive never tried anything like that before and the shrimp are the focus of the tank instead of the plants. Im increasing the excel dosage to brooksters recommended .5 ml a gallon so hopefully that will work as well.
well.. I'd strongly recommend the co2, this light is very strong. I actually tore down my 20tall because it got away from me, despite the massive daily metricide dose, it turned into an algae infested mess.. not saying it's impossible but getting the jump on this will make this a lot easier with the algae demons.
