Aquarium Advice Activist
i'm beginning to battle algae, and have yet to get any CO2.
two store bought packages were a full year out of date, and NOW, the newly purchased yeast i mixed up is not producing any CO2...
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?????
i used someone's advice, to warm up the sugar in water on the stove top, just below boiling, then add the yeast with the heat turned off.. let it breath a bit, and then add the baking soda and cap it off..
i've noticed the water from my aquarium gets sucked into the tube.. could this be due to the warmer water in the container??
it acts like a siphon without any CO2 being produced...
this yeast i bought was $6.99, sealed, and well within the Best if Used Buy date.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??
before, i would put the sugar, yeast, and baking soda in the bottom , fill with luke warm water, and cap it off right away, and BOOM-within a couple hours i would have my first couple bubbles!!
