namaste

one of my tanks has a water level of 6'' only.
for the submersed plants i want to induce CO2...but how?
i think the water level is too low for a ceramic diffuser.
the filter is internal, so an external diffuser is not possible.

any ideas?

cheers

why dont you try soda water it will help alot...Soda water also contains CO2

immersed setup needs Co2???
in immersed culture plants take Co2 from air.

Tough ask there... may be you can use bell jar to hold CO2 and dissolve with water current underneath?

Also, I m sure quite many would suggest your Gluteraldhyde/flourish... cant comment on them as I havent used them long enough.

no, i want CO2...so i can avoid the daily routine.
bell is a good idea and works quite well...reminds me about my old bio-co2 days

. forgot about it completely.

don't think this would be a good idea because this will result in immediate change in water parameter.

a better method would be to use a reactor

External CO2 reactor will be best for dispense CO2 in the tank.

this would require an additional pump, right?
my internal filter has no connection for a hose.
