thats really easy to make but what size tank would that be good for or can you regulate it to suit ie if i were to use it on a 18x12x12 tank i would just restrict the flow

cheers dane

I use a 1 liter bottle as opposed to the 2 liter bottle on my 20gallon but you can adapt the mixture to any size bottle. I would use the 1 liter bottle with your tank. I just cut the recipe in half. It lasts me at least a week, I change it at a week and a half.

it works well in anywhere from 45-65 gal tanks using a 64 oz bottle

smaller bottles can be used... there's also a diagram i made
