I am just setting up a 10g planted tank, and have been researching DIY CO2 but I have a couple questions that I'm sure you've heard before but I just couldn't find the answers to
If I'm running a medium light (~2.5 watts/gallon) do I need CO2 in the tank? Will my plants grow without it? I know it's not hard to set up, so if it won't hurt anything I would probably do it anyway, I was just curious.
If/when I set up the CO2, can I diffuse it through an airstone? I've heard mixed things about it and wanted to be sure that was okay, I can always find a different way to diffuse it if you guys don't think airstones work very well.
Last question (for now anyway) do you need a drop checker or a bubble counter with DIY CO2? Or should I just assume that it's hard to put too much diy into the tank and leave it at that?
Once again sorry if these questions have been asked over and over, and I was just not seeing the answers!
