Didn't know that. Thanks! Wonder if any one had used Aquasoil for that purpose in a soil-based tank?

So far, I am happy with the outcome of using pressurized CO2 along with a CO2 controller. As expected, plant growth rate picked up a tiny bit. I did not want to have frequent pruning and I had read Ms. Walstad's potential concern about soil nutrient depletion due to the explosive growth made possible by CO2 injection. No issue with algae. Lighting remains the same as before, i.e. low light. No dosing. Most important of all, the neon tetras seem to be happier.
