I would like to ask fellow ukaps members if they thought Co2 injection or perhaps a good Fert regime made a bigger difference to their tank.
To explain somewhat, I've have used Co2 on and off for the last 4 years and also a varied Fert regime and I can say without a doubt, it is the the adding of fertilizers and not co2 that has made the biggest difference.
Maybe its just me but I've been running my Rio 180 tank for over a year without co2 and it only showed significant improvement with the adding of Potassium and Magnesium to the water change.
I decided to go back down the co2 route 3 weeks ago and even now with a good ph drop over the lighting period, there is no more difference in plant health than in the previous months with a better fert regime.
I'm beginning to think co2 injection is overrated!.
