As I understand it, just because you have X bubbles per min, that doesn't necessarily give you much indication of how much CO2 is actually dissolved in the water.
andyh said:1. Reduce your lights i.e run 2 tubes instead of 4 etc for a week or two.
andyh said:2. Reduce your CO2 level so that you maintain a green drop checker. Yellow is the enemy for fish. Green is sufficent for growing plants.
3. Try to introduce your fish at a time when the CO2 aint on, preferably b4 it comes on, so that they can get used to being in an CO2 enriched environment grdually.
