Pearling

[tko187]

Are the plants in a co2 aquarium supposed to pearl everyday?? Iv not noticed any pearling for the last 3 days....any ideas!

If plants are growing well, you can still have a situation that doesn't bring about pearling. If you're flow is good, then the o2 will be diffused into the water so quickly you won't see the build up of o2 on the leaf. If you want to check, turn off the filter for a while.

Pearling is a good indicator that things are going well, but it shouldn't be the ultimate goal.

Im not sure if this was just me, but i did achieve pearling, only at extreemly high co2 levels when i was experimenting.
