Hi.

I am new for a planted aquarium. I have a small 40 Gallon tank, with some tetras, a Blue Gourami and a pair of Angel. Now i have a planted setup but i am not using any kind of Filters and didn't use any CO2. yet. But my plants yet going fine but slow growing.

Now can any one tell me how can i introduce CO2 regardless of any Hazard to my fish. And please do tell me how much light is needed for such an aquarium. I have 2 CFCs bulbs of 15 watt each and two tube lights of 10 watts each.

Please need advice

This article in the forum library may help, Carbon Dioxide in Planted Freshwater Aquaria. It should at least get you started, post back if it doesn't answer your questions.

I don't know what the rules are for posting links for other forums on here. But there is an excellent forums for planted tanks. planted tank .net

I also recommend checking that forum. Planted tanks have so many special questions, it does almost require a full forum to address the issues and that forum is a good one. Many of the same people involved.
