Common questions
Before you choose.
Do I need CO2 for a planted tank?
No. Many plants grow well without it. CO2 is for faster growth, carpets and strong red plants.
Is CO2 safe for fish?
Yes, at the right level. Increase slowly and turn it down if fish gasp at the surface.
Should CO2 run at night?
No. Plants only use it while the lights are on, so run it on a timer.
