Sumps and planted tanks
Sean, how do you have your sumps setup so you don't lose dissolved CO2?

I have the outflow pipes from the tank entering the sump underwater. I also use the black hose they sell for ponds on the ends of the pvc to make the water enter the sumps sideways. I bubble the CO2 into the intake of the return pump.
I do not have overflows, I have constant level siphons made from PVC, so there is no waterfall effect.
