Why are you telling me to read my own source article? Don't you think I read a source thoroughly before citing it? Or did you not expect that of me because you don't expect the same of yourself?
contradict yourself much?
We use H2O2 in aquatics with stressed fish and corals or when we need to boost O2 levels really fast. We use carbonated water when we need to anesthetize or euthanize a fish.
CO2 will kill you just as dead, too. You just won't get a headache to start. It's actually, in my opinion, more nefarious than CO.
Well yeah C02 kills more people aka. suffocation. but in think we were debating if cars are dangerous because of CO. in all honesty idk why we're debating it, its totally just stolen the thread, but W/e debating is always fun
I thought I'd try and throw the debate off and point out how some of these chemicals are used in other life support systems.
I wasn't trying to say which one kills more people, just addressing applications.
thanks!
LMAO, this shit still has me laughing! And no, I am not throwing gas on the fire so to speak...just found that incredibly funny!
That's awesome. I am an aquarist myself and so that's pretty useful information for me.
Excellent. What do you keep?
(this thread is already well hijacked.

My tanks are somewhat unpopulated right now, as I recently moved and a few didn't take the move so well. I have a blind albino oscar that's about 10 inches in a 55 gal tank and I have an albino peacock cichlid that's newly lonely in a 35 gal tank.
Interesting, a mix of New and Old World cichlids. My favorites are still the Africans. They are, without a doubt, the hardiest fish I've ever seen (and I've seen a few). I think it's very cool that you're caring so well for the Oscar.(this thread is already well hijacked.
Cichlids!
I'm thinking of putting the oscar in the 35 gal tank, since he's blind and is difficult to feed. (He's a really hardy fucker and I feel bad for him, otherwise I'd euthanise him.) Then I'll put the albino peacock + some new friends into the 55 gal tank.
You?
When you do, please link me!
Done.Yes! Definitely!
Shall we proceed downstairs to Toke N Talk?
As I asked previously, how can you demonstrate that the CO2 that's in solution does not come out of solution so quickly as to have any beneficial effect? Without metering you don't really know, do you? It seems to me that the moment it's brought out of solution (via spraying through a mister, for instance) that precious CO2 will diffuse into the atmosphere to negligible levels. I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense to me that you would achieve anything more than a very slight rise in CO2 levels, and who knows, breathing on your plants could ultimately have the same effect.
