If you are dosing Co2 then I would assume you have a test kit. Do a ph and a KH test, then go to http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_co2chart.htm, input the data it will tell you how many ppm of Co2 is in the water. There is also a chart on that site that indicates which levels are safe.

i had the very same problem with my goldfish tank.
once i purchased a wet/dry filter and an air pump, everything was better.

If one is dosing Co2 to promote plant growth, air bubblers and things that stir the surface of the water are believed to be counter productive. If the Co2 measure too high, the best thing to do is to cut back on the amount of carbon dioxide you are pushing into the water column.

:laugh: that there is funny... :joke:
doesnt work like that. its a better idea not to gas off all your co2 you ad. i would look at how much co2 your putting into your tank. you might be adding to much.legendaryfrog said:well then he could just dose more CO2 to counter the counter productive oxygen.
Ii guess you get your CO2 for free? The accepted practice is the one I outlined earlier. Measure the CO2 by doing a PH and a KH test, then dose to ~20ppm.legendaryfrog said:well then he could just dose more CO2 to counter the counter productive oxygen.
