Daylight hours: plants require co2 more than oxygen as they photosynthesise
Night time hours: plants require oxygen as they respire.
Given that an air pump, as far as I can see, oxygenates the water, is it best to have air pumps off in the day to allow more co2 to accumulate for photosynthesis and on all night to infuse oxygen for respiration?
Assuming a canister filter is also present.
