Saw a youtube vid from aquarium coop. Cory visits a shop/gallery that never does water changes (very thick substrate/sand). Also, the shop used upside down water bottles and injected co2 into them and just let it dissolve very slower into the water over the course of the day. Surely this is the most efficient way of saturating the water with co2??
I've been doing this on my tank as well and in 1 week, my plants have gone truly amazing from where they were. I have 2x 2litre diy yeast co2 bottles. I squeeze the bottles in the morning and it fills up the in tank bottle/reservoir for the whole day.
Am I missing something? Why are more people not doing this. The co2 bubble diffusers make the water look a mess and lots is lost at the water surface. Is it purely an aesthetic thing that people are not wanting the reservoir in the tank?
Here is what I'm talking about.
