When Should Co2 Come On And Off With Solenoid?

[Sanctuary80808]

I am planning to add a pressuised co2 system (complete with solenoid) to my aquarium and i have read that it is best to have the co2 come on an hour before the lights in the morning and go off an hour before the lights at night. Is it okay though if i just have my co2 come on and off at the same time as my lights? So both the CO2 and lights come on at 11am and off at 9pm? Will there be any problems with this?
Thanks a lot for your help

it's best to get a timer and have to C02 come on 2 hours before lights on and an 2 hours before lights off. There has been some research done and it is most important for the plants to get watch they need withing the first few hours of photosynthesis. So having the water saturated with C02 is the best thing to do.
