I am running a 35l nano with Tetra Co2 optimat and dosing with Easy carbo. I have used the Co2 on its own for over a year now with fairly good success. (yes i know its not as accurate as a proper system but for my budget 35l its does the job.)
I recently started dosing EasyCarbo as well as the CO2 and have seen some further plant growth which is great, however i have noticed a couple of the fish with breathing problems, and even lost one.
All my water conditions are bang on and the tank is mature. I have a JBL permanent Co2 test.

However i think that this is effected by the EasyCarbo and does not give true readings. Any comments on your experiences welcomed, are they still accurate when using EasyCarbo. It is reading high at the moment, but not convinced.
My question is i am over doing it with the C02/EasyCarbo i am putting too much in? (easy carbo 2ml per day)
I am confused help. As a short term fix i have turned off the Co2 and completed a 25% water change.
Help!
