RE: CO2 for Planted Tank
The best algae control is to limit light exposure and nitrate/phosphate in your aquarium. If 10 hours of light per day is still causing algae, you can try 8 hours or even less. Reduce feeding and increase partial water change will help reduce nitrate and phosphate.

Plants will only out-compete algae if they have CO2 and all the necessary nutrients.

I have not seen any chart for CO2 injection, and I do not think a chart is necessary. Any amount of CO2 injection will make plants do better than without CO2 injection, as long as the PH does not drop too low.

We will work on an article on CO2 injection soon to provide all the necessary details.
