Handmade CO2 generator

[yournamehere954]

You must of just put it in cause your barbs are all over it. They are very curious. Anything I put in my tank they are the first to investigate. Nice setup.

you need to stop the bubbles reaching the surface, if the co2 is not disolved in the tank with the water is is effectively wasted

okay, well can you make a video response to this one with the supplies you will need to make this concoction.

Is the 5L balloon and camozzi magnetic flap inside the tube? Could you explain more how you made it? Where do you buy the lemon acid?

[catfish4281]

Prikolno!

[aquamono]

can i use the yeast and sugar to generate co2 is it efficient?

[tdragn]

1. The generator in my clip doesn't use yeast and sugar :)

2. I used to use yeast and sugar for CO2. It is good but:

- You can't control the flow - gas is always coming into tank.

- You have to refill the generator every few weeks

Now I am using 5L balloon with liquid CO2 and camozzi magnetic flap :)

Thanks for explaining how it works!

[seka1986]

WTF?

[jkantor]

I think the "lemon acid" is powdered citric acid.

[Whack78]

Cool, never heard of using lemon acid and soda. Is it just plain lemon juice? How long does it last before you have to refill it?

[tdragn]

It isn't a lemon juice. It is dry lemon acid.

It have to be dry! Water from aquarium drops into container and produce CO2.

I used to refill it every day. In fact I had seven such containers for every day of week.

Now I don't it.

HI nice man. Hey how much yeast and sugar do u put in there? And how big is the container?

[tdragn]

There are no yeast nor sugar at all!

This works lemon acid and soda. About one teaspoon of each.

You can estimate the size of the container by the size of fishes ;)
