40 thoughts on “Is It Worth To Add CO2 To Your Planted Tank? | 1st Round of CO2 Vs No CO2 Planted Aquarium”
I quit making aquarium video, there will be no more aquarium related videoa in this channel. My new video will be like this: https://youtu.be/gYqXFkl9Xk8
From this example, I would say I prefer the slower plant growth on the no CO2 tank. Slower growth = Less trimming. The Rosaefolia is less vibrant without CO2, the Eriocaulon just straight up die, these 2 plant is a no go without CO2. But very surprisingly that the CO2 tank have more algae, didnt expect that at all.
You need to perform 10% water changes daily so that they’ll give you gradually gets reduced . Hydrogen peroxide for every 20 days Might help you to keep of all the algae and keep the tank healthy
I always have a question. I only use gravel and no soil. But I use CO2. Can I grow the plants successfully? What is your opinion? Will you do such experiment?
Well, in the Night the Plants produce by themselves also CO2. Means: If this (CO2) is enough, it might be enough for the whole day. So maybe it depends on the size of the tank and the amount of plants, in relation how much at the night the plants produce by themselves CO2 for the coming day.
It could also mean with this: That If so more the tank is bigger, so more plants you need. Otherwise they don't produce enough CO2 by themselves in the night for the need at the coming day. Conclusion: So smaller the tank, so better it works with less plants. So bigger the Tank, so more plants you need, for working well, a tank without CO2. Buut: At the end, on a certain too big tank-point it has a limitation, because it will not anymore work, because too much water in relation to the plants inside what are possible to set (in relation to the amoung of water).
Co2 make more nutrition for plant but more nutrition for alagae too. Algae growt faster on co2, with no co2 alagae grow slower because plant use it for them.
can i temporarily add co2 in initial days maybe for a week and then remove it? to just boost the initial growth? or will it affect the plants if i remove co2 from tank after a week?
Rotala color explanation: red color is always a sign of suffering. The redder the more he suffers. It is mostly caused by nitrate deficiency. In this case, it is redder from the lack of CO2.
Hi! Of course, CO2 is good, but it is not always necessary to use it. It's just that there are a lot of aquarium plants that grow perfectly without feeding it and beautiful aquariums are obtained. In any case, a great video. Thank you friend 👍
Whether or not you need co2 is very much down to plant choice: there are huge number of aquatic plants which will do very well with a simple background level of co2, and will reward you with good (albeit slower) growth and colour… so long as you take care of the other factors necessary: lighting (taking into consideration the intensity and duration of that lighting), substrate choice, nutrients, and temperature (and to a degree: water flow). That being said – they will obviously do a little better with more co2… it just isn't strictly necessary. And at the other end of the spectrum, there are the plants which simply aren't going survive – let alone thrive without a higher co2 level. If you're happy with the additional cost and very slight complexity… give it a go. You won't regret it 🙂
the reason for the algae issues is because you are only doing 1 water change a week in a new set up. Way too many nutrients from the soil along with the added fertiliser you are putting in each day.
you just blew my mind, your pampering and the shit out of them flowers I didn’t even think about that the algae off the leaves ….the great idea I wouldn’t have thought about it, truly the cool thing about YouTube is you can pick up tips and tricks that you just wouldn’t on your own or word-of-mouth
After now some years of experiences, I can tell you this as well: Your Light is too high/strong. Therefore you get algea. At the beginning of an aquarium, you've to set the light very, very low. As so low as possible, to not get this algea. Just when the aquarium has clearly run in (after the nitrite peak), you can set the light higher and stronger, as so much you want then. (This is just a Pro-Tip by me for you) 😉 Too much fertilizer is also not good at the beginning. This only encourages the filamentous algae to become even more extreme. But the first cause is light, for these filamentous algae. After the nitrite peak happens, you can set the light so high you want.
But yeah, CO2 is a must have, if you ask me. In the nature (so I heard) does even exist a lot more CO2 in the water than in our tanks.
the problem with CO2 on the right the green beard like spiky algae grown.. if not frequently clean off, it will grow all over the tank and eventually makes the whole day super ugly. is there a way to overcome that?
Merci pour votre vidéo mais je reste dubitatif. J'utilise le co2 (méthode bonbonne de gaz) 10 heures par jour (avec electrovanne) et je n'ai jamais observé un tel développement d'algues. En fait elles sont quasiment inexistantes. Mais l'aquariophilie n'étant pas une science exacte, ce qui réussit dans un bac peut ne pas réussir dans 1 autre.

The algae to your maintenance problem..

Hydrogen peroxide for every 20 days

Thank you very much. It is really a good video.

16:36, they are Utricularia gibba.
excuse me, sorry, I want to ask, I'm a layman, I want to ask, so is it better to use Co2 or not?
Sir for aquarium plants how many hours we want to use aquarium light sir daily sir 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️

Well explained sir…love to watch 💖💖💖
whats the fish food for

Hello, how hard is your water?
I don't have co2 and I get algae like the co2 tank. Fertiliser is definitely a contributer IME.
Using artisanal co2 in a kh8 water 😂
Until the CO2-free aquarium did very well
Hi, do u think using algae remover good for plants?
Lets see the tank after you stop injecting co2 after a month

I DONT CARE ABOUT TWIX COMMERCIALS FUCK OFF

I don’t have a fish tank. But it’s clear that co2 is not only an ongoing cost, but generates a HEAP of extra work!
Better without co2
Is filter is on in non co2 tank how many hours are you running filter
the reason for the algae issues is because you are only doing 1 water change a week in a new set up. Way too many nutrients from the soil along with the added fertiliser you are putting in each day.
very interesting!

where did you get that type of co2 kit, i want one for myself
Great video, I actually appreciate the slower growth, less maintenance as far as trimming..
All famous snail comparison which one eat more algae 😅

CO² supply are invented to make money. You can grow them too without adding into it. Let nature run by itself.
That insects is dragon fly babies 😅❤

That’s a great video. Thank you
