Alright I'm out of town visiting family and started talking about my hobby and this community. I was asked about CO2 and said that I will be discontinueing it because I vent my rooms and so I really don't think the plants ever got much use from it.
I was then told: "Why don't you inject the CO2 into the nute mix?" "I know the fresh water plants in my tank went NUTS wen I added CO2"
Most CO2 Systems have a valve that can be adjusted to produce the correct level of CO2, which can be measured with a CO2-monitor, that gives an easy-to-read, continuous, qualitative visual indication of the current CO2 level in a freshwater aquarium. Click here for more information about a CO2 System with a monitor.
The Pro System is a complete, efficient and user-friendly system to maintain a desired level of CO2 in planted aquariums up to 130 gallons. Design for use with paintball CO2 cylinder. Includes adjustable flow water pump, full featured, dual gauge, adjustable safety regulator, high precision, in-line, needle valve, bubble counter with integrated check valve, real time CO2 monitor, and 3 meters of CO2 tubing.
A pH controller will regulate the amount of Co2 being dissolved into a calcium reactor or planted aquarium by monitoring the pH of the water and controlling the amount of Co2 being released from the pressurized cylinder to maintain a desired pH level. The ORP monitor will give you a constant reading of the Oxidation-Reduction Potential. The controller's pH measurement range is 0-14, and features a digital display with resolution of 0.01 pH and a control set range of 3.5-10.0 pH. The ORP monitor measurement range is -1999mV to 1999mV with a resolution of 1mV. Main contoller unit measures 6.5in X 4.25in X 2.75in and features two digital displays and a protective acrylic cover for the front of the unit. Package comes complete with main controller unit, remote power control box, ORP probe and pH probe each with 6.5ft cord and BNC connector, 2 probe holders and pH calibration fluid, mounting bracket and template, and an installation and maintenance guide. Aquatic Life offers a high quality Co2 regulator with Solenoid (ASWO#3570) that can be used with the pH controller. Note - probes should be cleaned and recalibrated every 4-6 weeks and fully replaced every 12-18 months.

So there it is I'd love to inject CO2 into my res if it will give me a benefit. So tell me SCCC can this help our UCs?
Peace,
Or we may never know, we need some data collected and passed amongst our people. What do you have to loose,really?
