Weird Thought

If you have a planted tank and wanted to provide co2, could you get a straw, put an airstone on it, stick it in the water and blow on it to provide co2? Or would it have other byproducts such as bad breath and stuff?

You can buy carbon dioxide kits for aquarium use, and most of them have a diffuser or something like that to make the gas bubbles very small so they will dissolve in the water. The cheap carbon dioxide kits use a fermentation process to make gas, and the expensive ones with timers and stuff have pressurised bottles of CO2. Actually the 2 should be a subscript. If you want to raise some exotic plants, CO2 supplementation is almost required. However, if you're not careful with the stuff, it can drastically change aquarium chemistry and grow a bunch of algae. As for the breath of the humus bean, it does have lots of CO2, and it may be possible to add some to an aquarium by blowing through an air hose connected to an air stone. If the fish all come floating to the top, it's time to be more temperate in one's eating and drinking habits. Sorry, I just had to say that.

Haha I was just kidding to see what kind of replies I would get!

wtf? co2 breath?...............

Yes co2 breath. I hope you do know humans respire co2 Mr. Barpt

i do it tastes like poop , seriously cant enough of that kill u?

CO2 is used for the accelerated growth of plants since they use three basic things to grow. Light, nutrients, and co2.

co2 diffuser is the most common and economical things that provides co2 to ur tank..

Probably we should avoid getting scatological here. It is, however, just fine to talk about aquarium bottom water cooties; that's what you get when you inhale on the air tube instead of exhaling through it. As we all know, the ingestion of an aquarium bottom water cocktail will give you a very big case of MTS.
