Hey guys i got a Fluval mini presurised kit free its only good for up to 57l. i have a 100l planted tank. My brother just got his kit can i put 2 kits in the tank one on each side of the tank or would this be over doing it??

Cant see it being a problem, as long as you monitor the CO2 levels in the water till you get the injection levels right it should be fine.

You can monitor the CO2 level in your water using a CO2 Drop Checker this is from a UK seller but you can buy the same thing from Hong Kong for half the price but postage would take a while.

Also you will need some CO2 Drop Checker 4dKH Solution to use in the drop checker.

You could use your fish as a guide to the CO2 level in the water, if they start gasping and gather at the surface you know the water has to much CO2 in it, but IMO it would be best to get a drop checker
