I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

I don't think that they'll kill your plants, but yes, they take out some co2.

The more water disturbance you have the quicker the Co2 is dispursed this is the main reason I have never used it.

As far as killing plants I dont think so.

If you are not injecting Co2 the airstones won't make a difference. They'll only drive off Co2 if you are injecting it, kinda in one ear and out the other. If not it'll just bring the tank into equilibrium with the air, pretty much the same .

Newbie here Planning to slowly convert my fake plant aquarium to a real plant aquarium. So, from what i understand, when using real plants there is no need to use an airstone?

Another question, how do you "inject co2" into the tank? Does it help with plant growth?

Thanks in advance.

I agree with Keith, it is a very handsome owl. :88)

You don't need to use an airstone even in fake plant aquariums...

I think it might be a good idea to ask that question again as a seperate posting as it could get lost here.

Post it in the this Topic

I do not use Co2 at all too much air movement. As to does it help plants it certainly does once it is set up correctly.

Also live plants are better for your total aquarium look and health.
