I ordered myself a nutrafin kit the other day, and is in the post, but today i thought why not try and make a DIY CO2 kit, so i did.
Heres what i used......
2ltr plastic bottle
2 1/2 ft of air tubing
one way valve
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of yeast
lukewarm water
i have the tubing going into my filter output, so that it difuses the bubbles/CO2, it works nicely.
This maybe only temporary depends how long it goes for, im just experimenting with the mix, so not sure how long it will last.
when i get my nutrafin kit ill use a different mix with either less yeast or more yeast, but i will run both kits at the same time to see if i get more plant growth.
o ye and before i put the tubing in the filter i was getting 13 bpm, within an hour.
