none, but your fish would hate you, then probably die unless you have very good surface agitation.

Also, any test kit is really dodgy, drop checkers are the only way of knowing fairly certainly how much co2 you actually have. The slightest misreading/inaccuracy on a test kit will yield results wildly all over the place, not to mention that testing your tank water isnt reliable due to the other things that can effect ph.
