Thread: CO2 ran out :(

    CO2 ran out :(

    My CO2 just ran out and I won't be able to replenish until Monday evening. Should I do anything in the meantime to account for this?

    Hi,

    1. Excel.
    2. Lower the light a lot for the day
    3. Do a large water change to make up for it...
    4. Do nothing. 1 day should not cause an issue unless you already have issues...
    Thanks,

    Gerry.

    Thanks Gerryd. I'm dosing 1 1/2 capfuls of excel daily normally. Should I boost it a little?

    I am not sure I would even both personally. I just tried to present you with multiple options. I tend to be cautious with excel in general.

    You can simply have the lights off for the majority of the day. The plants will simply assume it is overcast and not really be as active as during a normal sunny day. This is not scientific btw, but I have gone 2-3 days ez with no lights and the plants seemed no worse for wear...
    Thanks,

    Sounds good. I'll go with lights out today. Thanks again for the advice.
