So I just installed a pressurized co2 system in my tank and have a few questions.
First, I have heard of 'end-of-tank dump' Could someone explain more about what exactly happens and is there a "way" of preventing it?
Second, the main complaint with the yeast-based co2 system, is that it is 'irregular' and we can get the algae fuzz around the plant leaves. I have read that we are supposed to only turn on the co2 when the lights are on, but wouldn't the lack of co2 during lights-off period cause the same issue?
The last question, my glass diffuser was broken during shipping, so while I am waiting for a replacement, I am using a bubble ladder. Just like with the yeast-based system, the first say 30 mins the bubbles don't get absorbed by the water. Should I start the co2 30mins before turning on the light. or is it taking about 30 mins for the plants to start absorbing the co2 (aka start the co2 30mins after the lights are on?) or does it not really matter?
Any help would be great!
