Ok, I am trying to get everything in my 29 Gallon tank down to a science...
I have one last issue, and that would of course be- CO2!
I run 1 DIY 1.89L Juice Bottle (which seems to produce most of my CO2)
AND a Red Sea CO2 Bio Generator (which honestly seems next to worthless)
I am able to keep my CO2 levels Green on my little CO2 indicator thing, but only for about a week... I have started replacing my DIY mix more often, but the wretched wait for it to start sending bubbles back into my mini power head is always a pain in the butt.
-- SO, my question to you all, is- Is there a way to make this easier on myself? I know pressurized set-ups can cost like $300, and I don't exactly have that much money to spend right now. I could probably round up $100 or so to truly pour into a project like this, so I wondered what kind of options I would have.
Would a paintball CO2 produce enough for a 29gallon? Are there any pre-made set-ups anyone would suggest saving for especially? I just feel like there would have to be a better way to keep my CO2 at 30-40ppm.. my plants seem fine, but I know they would prefer more CO2...
anways,
Thanks for everything!
