To: aquatic-plants at actwin_com

         I've been wondering lately if it would be a good idea to stop 
using the air pump and two stones on my planted community tank.  It has a 
overly large (for the tank) Bio-wheel 300 which provides plenty of surface 
agitation.  I use Flourish Excel and am wondering if the aeration is 
driving out the Excel faster.

Excel is a liquid form of carbon, not a gas, and can't be driven off by
surface agitation or aeration. Great product,
I use it, too.

I don't think aeration will drive out the Excel, it is not
a gas dissolved in the water. It can minimize the amount of
CO2 in the water and, if you are adding CO2 wither with a
compresseed gas set-up or via a fermentation bottle, then
an airstone or Biowheel will certainly greatly increase how
fast the CO2 is shed by teh water.

The Biowheel is probably providing plenty of aeration and,
in a well planted aquarium, even the Biowheel should not be
necessary to maintain healthy O2 levels in the water -- the
plants will do much in that regard as will having a
reasonable flow of current in the aquarium from a pump or
filter.

Good luck, good fun,
Scott H.
