A carbon filter in my fish tank out of carbon dioxide injected'm living for my plants?
I recently just started growing plants living in my tank, and have a DIY injection system for CO2. Will Carbon black place in my filter remove all the CO2 I'm pumping into the tank?
A carbon filter will not strip of CO2 in the water. However, the unregulated application of CO2 can have important effects on the pH of your tank. To avoid buying CO2 monitor expensive, you must perform regularly once or twice a week and use a pH test results to increase or decrease the amount of CO2. Also if used carbon filters on your purchase be sure only the "lab quality" coal and remove it every 30 days. After 30 days start charcoal to remove impurities from leaching back into your system. This is especially true for phosphates. The largest source of phosphates in the aquarium is the food of fish. This is an important reason for reducing the size and frequency of feedings in a planted tank.
