Benefits of CO2 Supplementation in Planted Aquariums
The CO2 effect
Aquarium plants use light and carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, the process by which they feed. Fish and bacteria in your aquarium give off CO2 through respiration, but in a planted aquarium, the CO2 created from that process is not always sufficient for optimal plant growth. A CO2 unit supplements your freshwater-planted aquarium by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide available for your plants in the aquarium water.

With proper CO2 levels, your plants will be healthier and grow faster. A low CO2 level will essentially starve your plants and limit their growth. Keep in mind that the more plants you have, the more they are going to be competing for carbon dioxide, and the greater their need will be for supplemental carbon dioxide. Like most things in the aquarium hobby, balance is required with CO2. Just as it is not healthy for planted aquariums to have low CO2 levels, it is also unhealthy for them to have high CO2 levels. Excess carbon dioxide strips the water of beneficial oxygen, reduces pH levels, and can throw off water quality. Be sure to routinely monitor your water parameters, perhaps even more closely, if you are employing the use of a CO2 unit.
