Thanks for sharing these co2 pages, Berg.  They are spot on.  There is a lot
more to learn than I expected.  Good thing I didn't accidentally kill all my
stock.

Hey Shango,

I just set up my c02 tank last week.    I think these pages may be pretty
beneficial to you:

http://www.rexgrigg.com/co2.htm  specifically Rex's chart here:
http://www.rexgrigg.com/co2.pdf is what I have been using to figure out my
c02 dosage.

These links were also pretty useful:

http://atlas.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_co2chart.htm

http://atlas.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_newtank.htm  This page discusses
setting your c02 to 30ppm for a few weeks to give the plants a head start
and the dropping down to 15ppm a few days before adding livestock.

Good luck... I'm new to the c02 setup my self.
Berg
