Hello everyone, I recently started injecting CO2 into my aquarium and I'm confident my plants will benefit from it. But I was wondering, what happens to a plant that's been growing in a CO2-enriched tank when it's transferred to another tank that doesn't have a CO2 injector? Does the plant get used to the extra CO2 and suffer when it's moved to a tank with less CO2? Or is the extra CO2 just a nice bonus, the plant doing just fine in the second tank (though not quite as well as in the first tank)? I mean, does the plant get "addicted" to CO2 or something? Another way of putting it: what happens to a plant if one stops using a CO2 injector after using one for some time? Will the plant do especially badly, suffering from CO2 withdrawal, or will it simply go back to the growth level it previously had before CO2 was used? In other words, does the extra CO2 induce physiological changes in the plant other than making it healthier for the time CO2 is added? Francois
