ok - so I know I'm being thick here but i need to ask ....
I've got quite a heavily planted tank at the minute but I'm wanting to improve it and turn it into a proper planted tank (like some of the ones shown on here!! ) but I'm a very very confused girl when it comes to CO2. Now I know this is a stupid thing to ask - but does injecting CO2 into a tank have any adverse efefct on the fish? and does it alter any of the water measurements (like changes in ph and suchlike!?). If I'm going to go ahead with this and do the CO2 thing ... err ... how exactly do i?? lol. is there some CO2 pumping machine thing i need to buy (please dont mock me for being so UN-knowledgable! lol)?
If I'm injecting CO2 into the tank is there anything else I need to do differently to keep water parameters and that sort of thing right for the fish?
Sorry if I'm just being stupid
Thanks
