What a bunch of BS

Guess what we use to operate our 250 gallon reef aquarium? CO2.

For us reefers, CO2 is used in conjunction with a calcium reactor to lower PH and dissolve hydro carbonate media into bio-available calcium molecules. In other words it makes our coral happy and growing. Turn off the C02 bottle and soon the the coral starts to look sickly.

C02 is also what green algae and other small plant life feed on. And these are food for many reef fish.

If the fish is affected, won’t those fish hunting them be similarly affected. Seems like net-net.

CO2 is what ALL plants feed on. This is the problem with the whole greenhouse gas theory. It basically contends that heat, moisture and carbon dioxide is detrimental to life, when just the opposite is true.

What happens in a greenhouse? Plants grow rapidly and in abundance.
