Hi
I've been running CO2 constantly 24/7 along with strong surface agitation to maintain a constant amount of dissolved CO2, just to see how you could interplay gas injection with gassing off. I kept the ph stable and down from 7.6 to 6.6 for about six weeks this way.
Pros:

Pros:
- you maintain a constant supply
- Fauna seem to acclimatise to the constant rate
- you rinse CO2 like a muther, 2kg every two weeks!
- no apparent overall benefit in terms of plant growth compared with well managed timed addition of CO2 to coincide with lights on.
