In the other hand having CO2 in excess(with limits of course) is no problem for plants, but can be dangerous, as you already know, for the fauna in your tank.
Having too much CO2 available can be a problem for plants as well, because in some cases,that will cause a lack of oxigen, resulting in stunted growth or very slow growth and algae striking again... plants use O2 when you turn off the tank lights. ( I almost forgot... beneficial bacteria uses O2 as well)
Confusing?
Just a little bit... we just got to find the right balance for the tank needs.
