Re: Is CO2 worth it for beginners?

I tried CO2 once and my plants went nuts, but then I got lazy and everything crashed. So yeah, only go for it if you're gonna stay on top of it.

There was a great journal on this, think a forum search would turn it up. Would link it for you but posting from phone, can't find it easily.
