Hello all, long time reader, first time poster.
I wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with running a high-energy planted aquarium with pressurized CO2, in near proximity to a reef tank. I'm currently building out a side-by-side double aquascape, which will feature a planted aquarium and a mixed reef on a single stand. I'm to the stage where I will begin my freshwater aquascape, and I'm deciding if going low-tech (no injected CO2) is safer for the reef in terms of carbonic acid accumulation. While I don't intend to run a demanding SPS dominate reef, I would like to minimize PH swing issues if otherwise avoidable.
Anyone have any insights by chance?
