![]() "Randy Webb" wrote in message ... g_in_k_o said the following on 12/31/2007 3:23 PM: snip You can bubble your own CO2 with yeast, sugar and water in a 2 liter soda bottle. It's a pain to keep feeding the yeast, but it's pretty cheap and does a good job for many plants. Google "DIY CO2" should get some info to you. URL: http://thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90039&page=23 About half way down that page is a section where the guy posted pictures and instructions on how to make a DIY CO2 generator. I found that article while researching for a reef tank. I made one two nights ago and it works good. Too good in fact. I double dosed the yeast trying to jump start my plant tank and ran into a problem worse than recharging the yeast. Trying to regulate the CO2. Instead of bending a stiff piece of tubing, I simply used flex tubing and ran it through the bottom of the strainer (after drilling a hole for it). The problem is that it produces so much CO2 that the bubbles actually build up and cause my filter to "dry run" for about a half a second every minute or so. I am going to have to put a T in it and split it up. Impossible to regulate. ============================== Thanks Randy but I really don't have the time to mess with something like that. I can kill all my fish if I make a mistake. -- RM.... Zone 6. Middle TN USA ~~~~ }((((* ~~~ }{{{{(ö |
