[abrahamavelar]

well yesterday i finally decided to set my diy co2 thing (i mad the bottle 2 days ago) i wasnt sure if i wanted to let it run and yesterday after i did my pwc i decided to make the co2 mix and it was around 330ish pm and i checked aput 9 pm and still wasnt running so i thought that it wouldnt work and this morning i woke up and it was finally working so i made this video and i posted it here

also this is the bottle size:

a 3 liter and a old jar (not sure of the size

heres the video Diy co2 n fish tank - YouTube

Looks good! Yea, DIY CO2 has a ramp up time


I couldn't see from your vid, but if you run you CO2 into A) your filter outflow or B) your powerhead, you may get better distribution.

No im just runing it straight through a airstone

i have a few questions about that:

1) if i decide to put it in the power head will it work with the koriola????

2) in case it dont work how do i put it with the outflow of a fluval 404, i have the output hooked to a uv sterilizer???

ok heres the video Diy co2 placement - YouTube sorry about the bad quality and sound im sick and cant breathe through my nose

you might try putting it next to the intake side of the powerhead instead. the impeller could help dissolve the co2

Thx ill try that!!!

Yes. Ideally, the impeller of the power head chops the bubbles into much smaller bubbles. Smaller bubbles = more surface area = more absorption. Might also help if the flows not sending your bubbles up to the surface.

Thats my other problem if I aim it somewhere else the fishm plants get tossed around
