Putting it in the filter is no good and putting it in the exhaust is pointless because it doesn't allow the bubbles to diffuse. I would run a line to an under gravel bubbler and then stack bigger rocks on top of the gravel over the bubbler. The longer you can keep the bubbles underwater the more time they have to diffuse. Good vid.
@TheBSideDJ That's a little over doing it. My method is more practical and I haven't had any issues. Those who do may be putting too much yeast and not the amount shown.
I have found that you can drill a hole in the original screw on stopper and then push through the check valve or tubing connector without the need for any glue or sealant. Use a drill bit that is of smaller diameter than the check valve connection. If the hole is too small, just use a conical recess bit to make the hole gradually bigger until the connector just pushes through. The seal will be air tight.
@Remydog145 It will activate on it's own. The time it takes for the bubbles to appear depends on how much yeast you use. Using a lot will produce bubbles sooner but you will have to replace the sugar/yeast mixture sooner. A small amount is all it takes but too little may not produce any bubbles at all.
@Remydog145 You have to have yeast. Yeast metabolizes the sugar and releases the CO2. Cane sugar is still sugar which is eaten by the yeast so it works.
What about Diet-Coke and Mentos?Would That Make More CO2? i Don,t Mean To Sound Like a Smart Aleck. and I want To say ,..I really appreciate you guys putting this stuff on sites like YOUTUBE . For Uneducated People Like Me. Keep Up The Good Work!
1) an aquarium expert told me that CO2 should only be injected during the day, when plants need CO2 ... does it harm it when injecting during night ? (night = reverse cycle when plants need O2 and no CO2).
2) i heard about filtering it on a second water bottle (filter) after the fermentation bottle to eliminate alcohol that is transported together with the CO2-bubbles.. is that necesarry ?
3) regulation. Ideal is about 30 ppm CO2... but there's no exact control ?
@Handini7 Can't you just hold your breath until you can't stand it, then let it out through the tube, then repeat for a couple minutes? Granted, you would get light headed, but in theory would that be enough for your plants?
not to be rude or anything, but if too much co2 coms out wouldnt that damage the filter?, because as far as i am aware i know that any air in the filter is a bad thing.
If the filter media comes before the impeller in the path of the water through the filter then the bubbles should be trapped by the media and slowly diffuse into solution. The few bubbles going into the impeller should not be too much to damage the filter.
What is ideal is to have just enough yeast mixed in with the sugar. A bubble every minute or so is good.
@Handini7 Problem, your injecting Co2 into your filter and this will aid in the build up of anaerobic bacteria, this is not the good kind that eats Ammo/Ni/Na, these will compete with your good bacteria in your bio-filter, not really a good idea, i would say its good to set this up on the out flow, not intake
I have made my this twice n still dont work... I have waited two days after each attemp, but there is no fucking bubbles coming out of the tubing lol, sorry for the language... can someone help me? what am I doing wrong? Is it warm water, cool water, cold water or wat? am I using too much sugar or too little? I got no Idea anymore :(
@Handini7 Thank you!!!!!! Is working now, I added more yeast and It took about an hour and started to bubble lol. do you know how long does it takes to start noticin a change?
Your welcome. Just note that more yeast allows it to produce bubbles sooner but you will have to restart the process sooner. Less yeast will take longer to start forming bubbles. Too little yeast will not do much.
Great idea on the rubber stopper. Most CO2 tutorials uses the screw cap and then silicone the tubing to it. Not a secure method. I think your rubber stopper method ensures a good seal. Thanks for the tip.
Great video. Thank you for that. If I may, a good tip is to use water from one of your regular water changes from the tank. Water from the tap is not as good. I have a bucket I keep in the kitchen that has fish water and I use it for my terrestrial plants and my CO2 DIY.
@chardnj This would be pointless because plants use oxygen at night, not CO2, so your mother in law's CO2 would have no effect LMAO. Unless she sleeps in the day?
@smoochy23 The Sugar/Yeast Solution inside your reactor got mixed with aquarium water. Probably you did not use a one-way check valve to prevent aquarium water from siphoning into your CO2 reactor bottle. Or the water in your reactor is too high as to reach the stopper. You must leave enough space for foam to form without touching the tubing. You could also place the CO2 reactor bottle higher than the aquarium to prevent water from the tank from siphoning off into your reactor.
I make mead, and when I saw the part about the sugar-and-yeast water under the aquarium, I started thinking about having my meads ferment under my son's aquarium, and attaching a tube to my carboys' vapor locks! Two birds with one stone! (Mead is wine made just from water, honey and yeast. No fruit at all)
nice work! but how long dose this last? and im thinking of doing this, so wht if i dont hook it into the filter, would it still work it it just hanging there? and wht it the suger water get into the tank insted of the co2, wouldnt it kill the fish? And why cant the plant just live off from CO2 from the fish ?
The length of time depends on the ratio of sugar to yeast. More yeast creates CO2 bubbles sooner but lasts less time. Too little yeast will not allow CO2 to bubble into the tank. The Filter is a simple way to allow the CO2 to dissolve into the water without purchasing a reactor. Just letting it bubble into the tank is inefficient.
I don't think a little sugar water going into the tank will do much damage but if you're careful and don't set it up with haste this won't happen. Plants can just live off from CO2 from the fish but it's not enough CO2 to make the plants thrive.
I would be careful when running your co2 into your filter intake, as the co2 bubbles will eventually create an air pocket inside your filter. In turn the air pocket will cause your filter motor to burn out because they really don't like air pockets. A better idea would be to make a reactor chamber that runs inline with your filter exhaust.
Nice work. However, I would not recommend to keep water level so high in container. Sooner or later the yeast will come to aquarium (nasty thing). Half a bottle is enough.
Also some external filters will make noise when with any gas inside and it is probably not healthy for bacteria colonies in the filter to have high co2 levels. Make a proper co2 reactor instead.
Hello, I think you have made a excellent movie there. Very nice, thank you. I use an Dennerle system that works perfectly. But I´d like to use your example in my 12L tank, that I´d like to use as a nice plant-aquarium with co2. I hope it will work. Just one question. You use sugar right! And the other thing must be the german word "Hefe"/ "Trockenhefe"? Am I right?
@damashers ya im a big dummy..I ment do you add oxygen to your tank,I just started a tank and I killed all of my fish with to much CO2,so when I add oxygen the second batch of fish our doing well
@damashers I've never had the need to add any O2. Did you have a steady stream of CO2 bubbles when you set it up or did you have a bubble every couple of seconds or so?
Excellent instructional there Handini! Currently have one of those Hagen ones with the rail-type diffusers, but I don't think it's got enough ass to be in my 55 gallon. Going to have to give your method a shot because the filter will probably allow better dispersal.
Hey thanks, this was awesome! I use hydro sponge filters only, what are your suggestions for placing the end tubes. Can I just directly drop the CO2 tube into the tank without a filter to cyle to the co2 itself? Thanks in advance. :)
I just feed the end tubes into the intake of the filter and let the impeller dissolve the CO2. If you just drop the tube into the tank it will be less efficient at dissolving but will still allow a little CO2 to dissolve.
Cool man, real helpful... I got the same Fluval filter as you, I was curious as to how you were going to introduce the CO2 into the intake pipe of the filter. Does the Fluval allow that to work good like that? I was worried about large air pockets forming in the canister, and then air locking the pump. But it works???
Plants need CO2 in order to photosynthesize, which they only do when it is light out. When it is dark, they 'respire,' which is a time when they use oxygen, and will usually need more oxygen than a tank has, especially when using a CO2 system. Some have said you should have an air pump going during the night, and have the CO2 system turned off. Is this something you do? or Do you find that this is not a problem for you?
It depends on the amount of yeast and sugar you use. More yeast will make it bubble more but in the process you may have to replenish it sooner. Less yeast will make it take a while to produce bubbles but will last longer. If you give the yeast more sugar they'll be able to feast for longer so that too will affect the length of time.
I see you have the CO2 line inside the tube, that sucks the water to the cannister filter. I would like to try the same thing but Do you thing that air (Co2) going inside the cannister can damage the motor. Please advice bro!!!! and also How much solubility can I obtain by follow this process. Thank for sharing!!!
Both air and water are fluid in nature so I don't see any possibility of the CO2 affecting the impeller or any other component. Don't forget, the filter intake also sucks in debris from the tank like dead plant material, fish food, fish waste and sometimes gravel. Since filters are designed to filter out a lot of organic debris there should be no problem with the CO2.
You should add a cleaning bottle between the DIY co2 and your aquarium to get the alcohol and other stuff out of the air before it goes in your aquarium
I want to make a tropical aquarium in Tarai of Nepal, where temperature 5◦ in Jan and in rest months it varies from 20 to 38◦ Celsius. The tank will be built in the open courtyard. The size will be 3m X ½ m X 1m. The three sides will be walled by stone or bricks and the front side will be walled by 10mm glass. For this capacity, what kinds of water heater, and water recycler should I purchase? Or other devices? Thanks!
Not bad, Does your mix ever foam up a little bit? Mine usually does so I leave the water line inside the bottle about 2/3's the way up otherwise yeast/sugar foam works its way up the tube and into the aquarium, making it cloudy.
It doesn't foam that much. The jar of yeast is stored in the refrigerator so it probably takes a moment to activate. Some water however does go up the tube if I'm not careful when I pit the stopper on the bottle.
Putting it in the filter is no good and putting it in the exhaust is pointless because it doesn't allow the bubbles to diffuse. I would run a line to an under gravel bubbler and then stack bigger rocks on top of the gravel over the bubbler. The longer you can keep the bubbles underwater the more time they have to diffuse. Good vid.
svoboda86 2 days ago
few tips :
* there is too much water inreactor
* use a 2nd little waterbottle in serie to avoid alcohol in aquarium
* inject in tank on OUTLET, not INLET of filter (because CO2 is to feed plants and not to feed your filter)
* CO2 is not ment in the first place to lower pH for fish, but to feed plants.Too much CO2 can cause CO2 intoxication of your fish.
* ALWAYS disconnect CO2 at night > use extra valve that you open at night (no fotosynthese + plants produce CO2 while using O2 at night).

Not bad, Does your mix ever foam up a little bit? Mine usually does so I leave the water line inside the bottle about 2/3's the way up otherwise yeast/sugar foam works its way up the tube and into the aquarium, making it cloudy.

It doesn't foam that much. The jar of yeast is stored in the refrigerator so it probably takes a moment to activate. Some water however does go up the tube if I'm not careful when I pit the stopper on the bottle.
