do you ever need to vaccume the gravel around the plants?

@lolustupid : If you have a lot of fish in your aquarium then vaccum is a got idea to maintain water quality. But when there are only few fishes (2-4 nos. of 3 inch fishes in a 20Gallon Aqua) then the natural biological cycle will take care of the waste deposits. Just change 1/5th of the water using siphon every 2 weeks. If you want less maintanence then plant artificial plants. Real plants could be food for other fish and die off easily if there is not enough light or poor water quality.

Hi 13thChip, How many weeks your Co2 bottle can hold up? how to make Co2 with sugar+yeast+water to make Co2 last longer? My Co2 2liters bottle can hold up only 1 week max.

Mine also can hold only upto a week mainly because Rhinox 2000 needs lot of pressure and after a week, the pressure in the bottle is not sufficient to produce the bubbles to escape.

I think you should use a 2Litre airtight Plastic bottle with a teaspoon of Yeast mixed with 1 KG sugar in lukewarm water to make it last 3 weeks by using a simple aquarium airstone instead of Co2 diffuser.
