Can somebody please explain the whole CO2 system to me please...is it needed for a planted aquarium or no? How do I NOT kill my fish by adding CO2 to the tank? This is a VERY confusing topic for me. I'm really hoping someone can help!

It's easy TY, until you have alot more experience, don't worry about it. I have in previous tanks successfully grown plants without any co2 etc,etc, keep it as simple as possible and you will have success :wink:

Co2 is really quite easy with a little homework, but it's only really required for high demand plants, most of which aren't suited for a Discus setup anyway so I wouldn't both with it if you're concerned about it.
Granted, all plants do benefit from it, but the average species kept by most don't need it.
