Tank has been going very well - with the plants growing like gangbusters, and fish seem to be healthy and growing as well.
My most resent bottle change (DIY CO2) produced insane amounts of gas early-on, but came to a stop last night (only about a week and a half). So this morning, I prepped a new bottle. When I swapped it out, all looked good so I left the house to run some errands.
My wife called while I was out and said the tank was seriously cloudy - couldn't even see the plants or fish. My first thought - my youngest daughter had gotten into the food again (had an episode months back where she "fed" the fish... nearly wiped the tank out). Then I remember - new bottle for the DIY CO2... So I have her check, and sure enough - the airline tubing is full of foam, and the tank is full of yeast....
So - After a huge water change, and a bit of tank clarifier (I really don't like using that stuff) - tank is back to clear.
I guess I had the bottle a little too full and/or the yeast was super-over active. All seems well now.
