CO2 gets a bad write up in the press these days. We are always hearing about global warming and the destruction of the ozone layer, but it is also important to remember that plants need CO2 to live. The foliage in your planted aquarium is no exception to this rule. Plants use the process of photosynthesis to turn water, CO2 and light into sugars and oxygen. This process coupled with respiration is the basis of life on earth. Without photosynthesis plants cannot produce the sugars which are used for growth and the development of new roots and leaves.

Successful aquascaping is all about healthy, full-grown plants. You may decide what plants you want to use in your aquascape, but CO2 is determining how well these plants grow and develop in time.

There are 3 known most important resources we need to supply when dealing with a planted aquarium:

• 1. Light
• 2. CO2
• 3. Micro and Macro nutrients

Micro and Macro nutrients are usually supplied from fish waste and by dosing fertilizers, but what about light and CO2? How do these two natural resources relate to one another and how do we make sure we create the right balance between them?

The major reason for which CO2 is so important for plants stands in the fact that it is involved in theirprocess of photosynthesis – converting light into energy. A more broad definition would be thatphotosynthesis is a process used by plants to convert light energy (usually from the sun) into chemical energy that can later be used as a source of food. This food is represented by carbohydrate molecules (such as sugars), which are synthesized from CO2 and water. Following this process, oxygen is released as a waste product (which is beneficial for fish and invertebrates).
Of course, in order for the photosynthesis to occur, the light intensity must reach a certain threshold. Not only that, but by providing more light, the photosynthesis will be much faster and so the plants will grow at a higher rate. You must be careful though because high levels of light but not enough CO2 will promote algae blooms.

A certain level of CO2 always exists in our aquariums because fish exhale it through the process of respiration, but that’s not enough. If we want to attain a certain level of lush plant growth we have to mechanically add CO2 to our tank.

It’s well known that plants prefer an environment with a certain concentration of dissolved CO2, which is around 10-15ppm (part per million). It’s important to keep this value as constant as possible as a high amount of dissolved CO2 could harm your fish and other invertebrates living in your aquarium (if you keep it below 30 ppm you’ll on the safe side).

A depletion of CO2 can cause a variety of problems within a planted aquarium. The most notable is the stunted growth of plants and a paling in the leaves and stems. Continued low levels of CO2 can cause the death of your plants in the tank. Plants may also start to get lime deposits on their leaves. Dissolved carbon dioxide becomes carbonic acid in water, so with depleted levels the pH of the tank will rise. This has serious consequences for any fish you are keeping as well as the plants. Both fish and plants will have an increased susceptibility to disease in increasingly high pH levels. Finally there is the fear of algal growth with increasingly low CO2 levels, which in turn can cause a lot of other problems including ammonia poisoning.
