Hi all, I just want to share an observation I made that got me al little confused. For the past few years I tried to run my planted tank with all the best practices in mind: adding enough co2, fertilizer (tropica specialized + KH), frequent water changes,… My plants where always growing very well. The only problem I had was bba on the hardscape.
Now a few weeks ago I ran out of co2 and couldn't get a new bottle because of covid. So I ran the tank with on the normal schedule, but without co2. A few weeks later the plants are still doing very well, the bba has completely disappeared (got some gsa on the rocks). So two questions arise: should I hook up a new bottle of co2 or just leave it and have I been adding the co2, without it doing something for growth?
Let’s say I’m a little puzzled…
