Re: [GSAS-Member] CO2 System Question



I originally bought my co2 setup because I wanted my tank to look like an
Amano tank.  I then realized that Amano tanks were usually not "real"
functioning tanks but rather set up for a short term photo.  I changed my
plan to simply have the most lush tank I could make.  I now study water
chemistry and am beginning a more serious look at ferts to support that
vision.  Funny thing is, I took my co2 off to clean it all out 3 weeks ago
and neglected to put it back on.  Everything seems to be growing better now
WITHOUT it which makes no sense to me at all.
