So after some advice on getting co2 on my 240g planted tank, I started pricing it out... wow is all I have to say. But here in the country people brew their own beer, and the gentleman that owned our first house was no different. He left his station there when we bought it. In it was a 5lb bottle and a regulator that the gauges don't work, but the regulator does.

So after an hour argument in the home depot with my husband on the best way to make a co2 reactor, and finally assembling it along with bubble counter, and drop checker, my co2 level is at 30ppm. but when that happened something else happened, my plants are giving off streams of air bubbles.different plants equal different bubble size. my amazons are the most active. What are they doing? they going to keep doing it?
 
They are "breathing" lol that's what I call it. But really, it is a product of photosynthesis.
 
yeah just oxygen being spit out by the plants. consider it plant poop
 
lol... that's what I thought, but I had never heard of it. Thanks so much guys.
 
my amazons seem to do it more often than my other plants too... :\
