Hello all,
I am new to the boards, and would like to take a moment to say hello!
I have a few questions, if someone has a sec. For the past several months, I have been reading, and gathering info before diving in. I own a 56g aquarium (30*18*24) that I acquired for the purpose of growing tropical plants, and one day housing frogs. I am fascinated with the plants, and have had a great time playing with them while researching the frogs.
I'm at the point now where I am considering starting to build the habitat. I plan to put in a circulation system, but am unsure of ventilation requirements, since I will be using an aquarium with a glass top. I do plan to ensure the plastic strip is well sealed down, and again will have a circulation system, but no ventilation. Will I run the risk of CO2 poison, if I don't have bottom ventilation? I also travel from time to time, and will be seeding the tank with springtails, therefore if the glass top wasn't opened for a day or two, would that increase the risk of CO2 poisoning?
Thanks, and I look forward to chatting with everyone!
