Help With Co2

[AinsyC]

just a quick question that i think you guys could easily answer, how often should i be dosing Co2? should i do every day, or just once a week? i have a 65 litre tank, and have enough plants to need c02

What kind of CO2 is this? I'm assuming a liquid form of some sort?

If you have good water circulation and good surface movement (think lots of little ripples), then the chances of you killing your fish with CO2 are slim. The best way to measure CO2, at least the method that works best on my budget, is to get what is called a dropchecker.

Take a look at this article from PARC...

A Guide to Dropcheckers

I have run enough CO2 to get my dropchecker yellow, and it has caused no harm.
