So, I guess I doubt that this kind of pH cyclicity is inherently stressful
to plants. A permanent pH shift due to other chemicals could be harmful... I
dunno. My skeptical side always wondered if people who achieve tremenjous
plant growth in their tanks are doing something more important than fighting
gas solubility constants, i.e. they create better conditions for plant
growth by choice of substrate etc. I'm sure that Amano (and Casper?!?) are
doing some such other twist.

Yeah, my red shiners look good just with my non-injected lush growth of
Elodea plants. Darters as a group just don't seem to hang out with plants,
either in nature or in aquaria.
