Question Do U CO2??

Do you use supplemental carbon dioxide (CO2) in your aquarium?

I see that about 100% of the voters (both) use pressurized CO2-systems.

I don't add any CO2 myself, but

Code:
The requested URL /poll.php was not found on this server
so I figure that the "pressurizers" will win this time .

Best regards,
Kai

Edit: It's working now!

I also use pressurized co2. Wouldn't go back to DIY if my life depended on it. I would go no Co2 before that!

I use yeast C02. I'm still learning, plus I dont fancy the idea of pressurised canisters in my apartment.

Maybe Excel should be a poll option, too?

The learning part, i agree, it's a very cost efficient startup and a good way to try it out and learn.

The pressurized part, these canisters are made for it's purpose and are tested regular (at least in Sweden) and it is the same type as are used as CO2 fire extinguisher, i guess nobody would not be "questioning" a fire extinguisher at home.
The canisters for DIY is often far more unsafe for the pressure built up, if not carefully choosen.

Sorry for the thread slip away.

Pressurized on 4 tanks. Having gone the diy route for several months, I can say I never want to mix another sugar/yeast mixture again!
