In a river tank situation the extra Co2 will be expelled BUT it will stop at a certain point and be maintained at the static level that out atmosphere contains. I grown many plants very nicely in my river tank that surprised me. They grown very slow this way with some interesting adaptations to the ...

re co2
Co2 is injected in tanks where there is higher light conditions ie 2.5 watts per gallon or more. In that situation the plants become your biofilter and directly consume ammonia before most of it gets converted to nitrate. Plants need a lot of co2 when they grow fast. Carefull monitoring is necessary...
