Yes. Should I be embarrassed??
I remember having discussions with others here about this topic:
"If no CO2 is being introduced (pressurized or DIY) then are there any negative benefits in aerating the water?"
The amount of CO2 in the water should in equilibrium with the air around the tank. The plants themselves will create a CO2 debt in the water via photosynthesis. Surface agitation will only help achieve equilibrium (CO2 moves from air to water). Surface agitation will drive out CO2 from the water if there is an excess of it. That's my understanding of it. Also to add, the amount of CO2 in the tank water is pretty low to begin with.

It's decent stuff. Pretty much the same thing as Seachem Flourosh Excel.
You know what's really good (and cheap)? Buy yourself a one gallon jug of Metricide 14. It's twice the strength, but it's a lot more cost effective ($30 for a gallon).
