'Ello! I have a 37 gallon tall tank, (20" wide, 18" deep, 24" tall), and I have three 15W bulbs hanging out on top, giving me about a 1.21 WPG ratio. I have some plants in the tank, but it is not "heavily planted" as some would say. I am trying a CO2 DIY method with the yeast and sugar, but not having much success. After numerous leak fixes and cups upon cups of sugar remixed, I still am not getting a good flow of CO2. I leave it off at night, and hook it back up in the morning, but just having no luck. I am seriously debating on purchasing a full CO2 setup the correct way, but I am wondering how much this is going to cost to run. A tank of this size will need quite a bit of CO2 I'm assuming, so the refill amount will be quite costly.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am starting to see some hair algae on my java moss and green algae on my substrate. I am currently dosing seachem's flourish as directed on the box, once a week. There are no fish in the tank just yet, as it is in the final stages of cycling. Thanks all for the help : )
