So I was thinking, would it be good/possible to run oxygen straight into the tank or are there things that make don't make it possible? Just like we use CO2 in calcium reactor and we use straight CO2 gas could we use straight O2 through let's say an air stone or even through a bubble counter if it needed to be monitored. If anyone knows anything about this chime in. Thanks

not sure about this one, but the CO2 doesn't go directly into your tank, it goes into the CA reactor to lower the ph so the calcium media breaks down more easily. What would be the benefit of pumping O2 into your tank?

No I know that but the CO2 still dissolves in the water so I was wondering if O2 would do the same thing. And I don't see how it wouldn't be a benefit I mean more O2 happier fish I would think, and especially in the summer wouldn't it be good to have more O2 since O2 levels drop as temperature rises
