fisheyes · 05-30-2005, 03:05 PM

Okay so i have a 55 [acronym:9a2cce6871="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:9a2cce6871]. planted tank. I set up a [acronym:9a2cce6871="Do it yourself"]diy[/acronym:9a2cce6871] co2 and at first nothing to a week later i took it apart tried a diff. recipie and different brand of yeast and in a few hrs i had bubbles and target co2 levels. That was yesterday and now today nothing. The bubbles just stopped, if i squeeze one of the bottles some bubbles will come out but then nothing. I tried adding more yeast and it helped a little but now still no bubbles. Should i add another bottle, add more yeast, more sugar, start over? Any help would be great! I am eventually going to go to a real co2 set up but i don't have the money for it right now and i want to see how it affects the plants. Thanks
