Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but if I'm running an 8 or 10 hour photoperiod, when is the best time to add liquid carbon - just before the lights go on or later in the photoperiod when CO2 levels have dropped? How rapidly does glutaraldehyde break down to release the CO2?
 
Gluteraldehyde does not release co2. It doesn't provide the plants with co2- it provides them with carbon.

Before lights on is still the best time to dose even with pressurised injection.
 
Thanks for picking me up on my poorly expressed post. So plants absorb the glutaraldehyde even in the dark?
 
I add flourish on a morning, before work, to deal with morning sunshine and light throughout the day. My tank is not currently stocked with fauna though. Otherwise I'd be worried about their health when dosing like this.
