When & How Much Co2 Does Planted Aquarium Need? Co2 bubbles per second in Planted Aquarium

In this video, we will see when to diffuse co2 to your aquarium and how much co2 is required for the aquarium.
First thing first, When do we dose co2 to the aquarium, when the aquarium light is switched on. Aquarium plants wake up when the lights are on and with the help of light plants absorb co2 and release o2 generating glucose. plants source of energy. Now it's clear that co2 should be diffused to the aquarium when after the lights are on and turned off once the light is off. Aquarium plants only photosynthesis in the presence of light, so there is no point having the co2 on when the lights are off.

The second question is how much co2 to diffuse into the Aquarium? The optimal co2 for a plated aquarium highly depends upon the size of the tank. For a rough estimate, you can diffuse 2 to 3 bubbles per second for a 1 feet tank, 4 to 5 bubbles for 3 feet tank and so on.
Also, keep in mind that only with trial and error you can find the optimal co2 diffusion for your tank. If the fish from your tank swims to top, that's an indication that the co2 is high in your planted aquarium.
