I was talking to someone the other day about Amano's monster tank -- you know, the huge one that has the plants and wood growing up out of the top. Anyway, I was told that he actually injects pressurized O2 (as well as Co2) to keep oxygen levels up and to more quickly build and maintain the nitrogen-feeding bacteria. Has anyone heard of this or use this method in your tank? I'm just interested in learning more, as one would assume a large bacteria colony isn't exactly needed in a heavily planted tank. Is there something else here that I'm not seeing?

I believe Tom Barr has had pressurized O2 in some of his/client's tanks...just sit back and wait for him to reply.

I could see injecting CO2 during the day and O2 during the night being beneficial...

O2 is really hard to dissolve in water.

Yeah take a look at Tom's Behemoth thread the first post he says he injects pure o2 http://www.plantedtank.net/...
