I recently purchased a C02 system (see here) for my aquarium. It's been running now for a few days, but I am wondering if I should have my bubble wand/air pump running 24/7, or if I should only have it on once the lights (lights are on for 12 hours - 11am to 11pm) are off at night.
Would leaving the bubbler on during the daytime affect the C02? I do have gang valve on the air pump, so there isn't much surface movement from the bubbles, or from the power filter for that matter.
Also, I have heard there can be adverse effects from using C02. Right now I have a KH of 3dkh, and a PH of 7.2. Are these safe ranges to be using C02 with? So far my PH has been stable.
