I did a search and couldn't find this topic covered specifically. I hope I'm not repeating a previous discussion.
Tom says in another post "CO2 goes into and out of solution with water very easily"
and there is more CO2 in air than water, so wouldn't using aeration, which just pumps air in to the aquarium, put more CO2 and O2 in to that aquariums water, than an aquarium with no water movement?
I may be mistaken because my memory is less than perfect, but wasn't Ole Pedersen saying in his talk a couple years ago at the AGA convention that creeks with a lot of rocks and surface movement had higher levels of CO2 because of that. Wouldn't the same be true in an aquarium or have I missed something?
Not that I plan on starting to add air or filters or any of that sort of thing on my aquariums, lol this is all hypothetical conjecture.
