I will be setting up my new Pressurized CO2 system with pH controller next week. My question is:
Do I set my CO2 system on a Timer so it goes off at night when plants are not using CO2 or not?
I do not want to have huge pH fluctuations, but I do not want to overdose my fish with CO2 either..both can be dangerous to the fish.
My gut feeling is to keep the CO2 on all the time...and perhaps have an airstone on a timer that will go on at night. This is do several things:
1. Provide O2 to fish and plants (as plants use O2 when not producing CO2)
2. Cause some surface agitation to get some of the CO2 out of the water so it will not accumulate while plants do not need it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
