I have an established aquarium with fish and plants in which is (/was) using very low light, 1/4 EI & gas co2 injection.
I've been meaning to make it a low tech for a while due to time constraints, but failure of various bits of co2 equipment has forced my hand this morning.
So what I want to know is can I simply stop using co2 or will the plants die off from the sudden change?
Or, should I perhaps use a gradually decreasing amount of glut to tide the plants over during the transition?
[ Seen a few threads on ehre where people in the same position switch to soil tanks. Ideally I would have like to have switched at this point too, but I don't have any prepared soil or anywhere to keep the fish while it mineralises in-tank. Any suggestions on how to make that work would also be appreciated if it's an option. ]
Thanks
