nonono co2 is for plant to live they need air co2 is not for fish fhis take air from the surfice or bottom of the aquarium.... make one al htose plants need it m8..

Plants do not need a CO2 injector as long as there are fish and enough light they get enough food and CO2 through fish dropings.

[kareemhalfawi]

Not really true, the amount of CO2 fish give off is really, really tiny.

CO2 injection makes plants go intensely green and start bubbling up with oxygen, it's really a sight to see.

Nonetheless this is gorgeous, sooo relaxing

[Kakaroti]

In nature there is no need for an CO2 injector, since the plants only need sunlight to perform photosynthesis, and convert any CO2 to oxygen while consuming fish droppings though the substrate. CO2 injector are therefore virtually useless, unless you count in the cosmetic "bubbling" effect. During respiration at night the plants will generate CO2 on their own, by converting the glucose they storage, thus upholding a balanced CO2/Oxygen concentration.

maybe u shuld move the camera closer...

Very beautiful! I like it a lot. Check out my two updated aquariums. I have a 29 gallon and a 10 gallon. Mine are very bright. I have plastic plants and live plants as well. Mine are no comparison to your beautiful natural looking aquarium, though, but I still enjoy them. By the way, your video is very relaxing, too. Great job! :-)

Nice community! Please check out my 20 gallon community

This is the kind of look I'm going for in my planted community aquarium but I'm having a problem with silt in the water that settles all over the plants. I'm doing some DIY on the filter and already I'm seeing improvements. Your plants are wonderful and healthy looking. I have another problem, my blue acara cichlids like tearing up the broad leaves and digging the plants up. Well at least they are having fun. :)

@Kakaroti Actually, the CO2 escapes from the tank as the plants make it overnight.

The fish contribute very little to the CO2 levels during the day so there is a need for CO2 injection.

beautiful

Beautiful fish nd setup! :D What language are they speaking, is that Albanian?? :)

[letmusiclive89]

@Kakaroti i wouldnt say co2 is useless... it can be beneficial in some applications. as far as a natural setting... there is obviously no co2 injection... but they still do require co2, they just get it naturally... as it is in nature after all.

Jesus everyone is a expert, just say what a lovely tank this man has. Stop nit picking everything people do. Nice tank bro, keep up the good work.
