Today I got a scare on my tank, for the first time all my fish were on top gasping for air.
I setup the solenoid to stop CO2 at 2200 and start it again at 0530. It must have dosed too much CO2 into the tank, as at 0700 they were all gasping for air.
I turned the air pump on and lit the lights, so that the CO2 drops during the day, and will check it again at night to see if I can get to a balance.
Some fish I do not mind loosing, such as as the platies, but I really like my dwarf neons. Should be ok, but I was not expecting it with the solenoid. I was expecting some sort of lack of CO2, as it was stopped at night, not this.
