CO2 Question
Hi! I am thinking about adding DIY CO2 via
the yeast method. I am concerned however on the effects this will have on
an already established tank. My tank is mostly a plant tank (Apon
longifolius, Crypt wendtii red, Ludwigia repens, Anacharis Canadensis,
Sagitteria subulata forma filiformis, Valisneria spiralis, Alternanthera
reineckii, Anubias species, Ceratophyllum demersum, Hygrophilia difformis,
Hygrophilia polysperma tropical sunset, Liliaeopsis, Vesicularia dubyana, and a
light green colored plant with small pointed leaves that is growing like mad but
is yet unidentified) however I do have a few fish I have grown rather attached
to.
I have a pair of red flame dwarf gouramis, an
albino pearlscale angelfish and 3 kuhli loaches, plus an army of
otocinclus. I am concerned that the pH swings will affect my plants and
fish adversely. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Tank perameters
29 gallon with 3 20 watt
flourescents
enriched gravel substrate (3")
pH is steady at 7.6
78 degrees
Aquaclear 200 power filter
water is moderately hard
Please any thoughts would be greatly
appreciated>
Thank you,
Chlayne
