I was also curious - w/o surface aggatation, my tank has developed a slight oil (protien) slick on top. Does this effect the plants in anyway? Im not running a filter on the tank, and will likely maintain my 33-40% water changes at the end of the week. No fish present.
Also any recommendations where I can obtain a decent priced solenoid? The regulator i'm using is a generic/industrial single gauge regulator fitted for use with a paintaball co2 canister. It works fine, granted it doesn't come with any frills. When I turn on the light in the morning, I also turn on CO2 manually. Doesnt work too well on occasions when I have to leave early for school or work and return late, and thus looking for a way to automate it, but also not burn a hole in my wallet, as that is that is what monster fish are for.
Btw- My plants are growing already. Even some of the leaves which were yellow/brown when i planted the tank have turned nice a bright green. I'll update w/ a picture shortly, as to the progress of the tank.
