My Tank Thread
Yes, that is pretty much how it works.Thanks that helps to understand. Your point about air around the tank is where I'm wondering the dynamics especially. So high turbulence at the surface, or in a skimmer, or air stone bubbles, etc... will cause the water to reach an equilibrium with the amount of CO2 in that air source. If in my sump I have a bunch of turbulence in my skimmer with air scrubbed off all CO2 and other than that there is no turbulence in my sump. This should be decreasing CO2 in the sump since the air into the sump has none. Now if in my display tank I have a bunch of surface turbulence but the ambient air is loaded with CO2, then this would be gaining CO2 and then surface turbulence would seem counter productive. Does that seem possible in a broad sense.
