	DIY co2 question...actually 2 questions
mike77ca Hobbyist Posts: 89 Kudos: 89 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jun-2004	1)What is the white slimy sludge that develops on the airstone that my co2 feeds through?? Is It harmfull?? 2)Can O2 be fed through the same line as co2, or a line near it, or will this likely reduce the amount of co2 that is absorbed by the water??
