If you dose CO2 carefully (invest in a bubble counter and drop checker!) it does wonders for your plants. Many people who keep planted tanks (myself included) will tell you it's not just an "internet craze," it actually gets great results. If it wasn't getting results, why would it be so popular?
fishbguy: I dealt with this while I was still figuring out CO2. Run a few airlines into the tank to outgas any remaining CO2, then look into getting the drop checker and bubble counter if you want to dose co2.
