Hi
I currently run a 150l low tech but getting the itch to add gas to it. It's planted with mostly crypts, some anubias, Buces, echinodorus, aponogeton and limnophilia. Everything's grows ok but very slow and still seem to have slight issues with crypt melt even though it is no where near at the rate it was. I like the idea of co2 giving me more options for planting as at the moment my choice is quite limited. My main worry however is due to the fish i keep in the tank which are sewellia, garra, minnows and danios which are all hillstream fish with quite a high oxygen requirement. Would It be beneficial to add gas but at a low ammmount to say 15ppm rather than 30ppm or is this going to give me algae issues? shall I stay as I am or make the jump?
Cheers
Conor
