CO2

[Hamster]

Hi everyone, I was thinking about my new set up in building, I build dark water natural planted paladariums
Will I'm using a few internal filters, water falls flow etc, can I connect CO2 to an air inlet on an internal filter ?? Would circulate it well !
Or would bubbles be to big ? So would need a defuser ?
Also if I have air stones always on, can I leave C02 on all the time ?
Any advice fantastic..

bubbles would be too big and too high up in the water column. You want as fine as possible ( Mist really ) and as low in the tank as you can go.

co2 needs to be on the same time as the lights, but an hour before lights on and turn off a hour before lights out.

Co2 can be very dangerous in high concentrations in the aquarium. It may be worth your while having a look through this video and just getting a good feel for what you need and how things are set up:
