O2 is arguably the most important element in the planted aquarium. It is required for respiration and growth by all aquatic plants, used in a process called photosynthesis. Plants require a constant supply of CO2 during the light hours, otherwise they can suffer. They combine the CO2 with water and light energy to produce oxygen and sugars to enable growth. In the wild, plants get their CO2 in large quantities naturally from substrate (mud) and degrading plants. However, in a enclosed aquarium, CO2 is very limited. Water from your tap is depleted from CO2 and plant decay in an aquarium is minimal compared to the wild. This is why many aquarists have found out that supplementing CO2 really does help their plants grow much better and a lot stronger. Deciding whether you need CO2 injection or not, or how much you need, depends on the amount of light you are supplying, and the selection of plants you wish to grow. However, for a more successful planted aquarium, we always recommend injecting CO2.
