I have a typical DIY CO2 set up:
2L bottle, Sugar and Yeast.
The mixture I use is this:
Add 2 Cups of Sugar to half a bottle of cold water and mix well.
Mix 1 tsp of yeast with a half cup of 100F water, add to sugar water and fill the bottle to where the neck begins with cold water. This produces a fairly constant supply of co2 for 4+ weeks.
I get a bubble every few seconds and I catch it in a Jungle Labs Fiz Factory chamber where it sits. The chamber is right below the filter output so the water is pretty active there. I haven't seen any changes in my plants since I have started this set-up 2 -3 months ago. Is there a better way of doing this?
Is the problem possibly the chamber? I considered a ladder but sometimes the bublles aren't constant and the bottle will release a series of bubbles and then nothing for a minute or two so the flow is not consistent.
Thanks
