hey, i have a powerhead and i need to keep my fish oxygenated and my plants going with carbon dioxide. i dont want to use CO2 pellets since i heard they mess up the pH easily.

my powerhead currently is spurting water onto the suface and creating lots of bubbles and my anubias plant looks sick :S the fish are mighty healthy though :D

any ideas on how to oxygenate and keep carbon dioxide?
 
If your co2 levels are in the right range, then the plants will use it up, and in return, produce the oxygen that your fish need.

are you injecting CO2 (not personally!!! I mean into the tank ;) )?

im not adding any CO2

the plant is the slow growing anubias. i was told that i dont need to add CO2. i think i have it figured. keep the powerhead agitating the surface of the water but not making any bubbles under the water.

should work fine
