What are the drawbacks of doing a timer on co2? I'm trying to save some co2. I mean seriously, you know when you are feeding 4 tanks with a 20 lb..it's really gonna go down fast... So I have the co2 currently timed to be on when the lights go on and the co2 to go off when the lights go off and the dry ferts that I dose. So once all of my tanks are heavily planted, I can time the co2 to turn on 30 min before lights go on and 30 min before lights go off...


I am keeping a high tech 60 gallon tank, just so you know, I know what I'm doing(Intermediate) . E. Index, pressurized co2 (diffusion rate is 100%) reactor, and 4.2 wpg, eco-complete used for a few months. Here are some of my plants.

L. Aromatica
Downoi
Red cabomba
Rotala wallichi
Rotala bonsai
Blyxa japonica
Dwarf sag
Erio cinerum

Should I dose seachem's Flourish Excel to help out? I have a friggin gallon worth right now

I have mine timed to go on an hour before lights on and to go off at lights off. From what I read, its important to get the CO2 levels up prior to your lighting period.

Mhmm.. interesting. Plants need co2 when there is light, right? When it is dark and it's time for the plants to rest, they don't need co2?
