Sounds like you didn't activate or "proof" the yeast when you made it.
It will eventually get going on it's own if it is still good but can take some time as you noticed.
i added baking soda to my diy mix.... id read that it would keep the mix from becoming too acidic and killing the yeast... not sure if there's any truth to that or not, but mine ran steady for about 2 weeks
I noticed I made another mistake.
Well I only have a 5 gallon tank.
And a 1.5litre bottle with like 1 1/2 tsp yeast and lot's of sugar... My fish are drunk I think, and breathing heavy, but they don't flow up, but they are a bit inactive
Sounds like they are getting to much CO2 take the line out until they start acting normal. Some people take out the line at night so the CO2 don't build up and kill the fish.

I need a fast answer,
I want to make a new DIY co2 but with a smaller bottle.
Becouse I have none laying around atm I want to use a small glass bottle.
Is this safe?
It's not like I'll close the bottle off that it will explode...
can you hook the co2 line in to your filter? i had co2 on one of my tanks for a while and my internal filter like that had a muffler line that i ended up hooking the co2 to, it dispersed it in to lots of fine microbubbles which really did alot of benefit to the plants

I don't think so, if u want to see my filter, name is: Dennerle nano eckfilter (German stuff)
Anyways, do you think to make DIY co2 in a glass bottle?
