bzzzzzzzzzzt!

[JPHET37]

dam the plants looks very healthy unlike Pets Smart they don't give CO2 to the plants they look like brown plants

kkshing,

You should build a dyi diffuser. Those co2 bubbles you got coming out aren't mixing with the water at all they are just floating to the top of your tank. I know you got a small tank but you might want to stick that hose into your filter intake hose or just build a mini diffuser. Like the c02 reactor though good work!

hi Flap1987,mybe you add too much yeast...

[Flap1987]

great work....in my diy co2 bottle there is always a lot of foam....why???? o_O

[omega7arts]

It's a chemical reaction, it's normal, it's the yeast eating the sugar. ^^

[Flap1987]

how can eliminate it?

[omega7arts]

It's normal, after a while the white thing goes away, but it's normal, unless it gets into your tank.

[riotriotriot55]

@Flap1987 its apart of the process of fermentation, that creates the co2. it is normal, ok, veery nice.

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

try less sugar, people overestimate mixtures imo. i use 2 liter bottles, less than a half cup of sugar and about 1/3 of a teaspoon of yeast with warm water lasts a very long time for me

@UniteForgetLeftRight

yea i just started my system. I added 2/3 cup of sugar, 1 tsp protein powder, and 1/4 tsp of yeast :) hopefully this co2 stuff works. I havent seen any bubbles yet so I dont know if I did it right

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

@quesadilla247 proper diffusion is more important than mixture contents from what ive seen theres great diffuser powerhead u can buy from TUNZE

[quesadilla247]

@UniteForgetLeftRight

i know, but if theres nothing to diffuse :P I just havent seen any bubbles through the bubble counter tho??? Im about to go check again to see

[zynthesis]

It's the yeast having gas after eating sugar. Yeast fart c02.

[RedDelPaPa]

Your setup won't work worth a damn. No where near enough co2 contact time with your water to dissolve the gas into the water.
