Would the co2 produced from one DIY yeast reactor be enough co2 for a 40long moderately planted tank. I have one on there now that produces one bubble every 5-6 seconds. I am dispersing it in the tank through the venturi on a power head. The lighting is 56 watts of 6700K from t-5 lights. I dose Flourish Comprehensive, Glute, and Leafzone.
 
get a co2 indicator to check it. bps efficiency varies too much to tell.
however, i am using 2 2L bottles with forced-reactor diffusion on my 55g, so i'm not sure one bottle on a 40g is enough to reach those 25 mg/l.
 
Just hooked up a second bottle yesterday, more bubbles tonight. I definitely have to get a drop checker. No idea what the concentration is in the tank. The fish are acting normal, and the PH has only dropped a little, so for now I think i'm ok.
