DIY C02

[superjalami30]

I'm planning on adding C02 to a 3 gallon planted tank.
No fish.
Maybe a few ADF.
Is there anything I should beware of?
I'm planning on "not"regulating the co2 initially anyways, should I?

any amount of co2 from a traditional DIY system will alter that amount of water quite dramatically - I wouldn't put anything excemp plants in there until you know what the stability is like

yea, that I know.
I'm not going to put any fish in this tank at all, but I was wondering if i could put some froggies in there.
I posted that question in the "Invertebrates, Amphibians & Aquatic Reptiles Forum".

Thanks smithrc!

I wouldnt add anything at all - excessive CO2 lowers the Ph by creating carbonic acid - Large PH swind wont be good for anything in there.
