We all know that plants in general as well as aquatic plants in particular need light for photosynthesis. During this process, aquatic plants rely on light to absorb necessary substances, and CO2 releases O2 (plants breathe). And vice versa, when the lights are off, the tree takes in O2 and releases CO2. Both processes balance … Read more
