While a few of us may appear to be preoccupied or obsessive regarding "Accurate" Co2 Measurements. This is yet another splendid example as to "Why" it "Should" matter !!!
Who the hell knows why we get algae blooms, fish/shrimp die offs, poor growth, and melting plants ? We could easily presume it's Co2 related, but lacking any accurate reference point let face it...Anything less is just a Wild Ass Guess !
I have noticed that Blue rams are sensitive to High Co2 levels (in excess of 30ppm)... It would be more accurate to say they stress from Low o2 levels ! HTH Prof M
