This is an old aquarium trick 😉 SUPER effective to fight algae and promote plants growth . very well done tutorial, plus the cost is basically nothing. And I repeat is SUPER EFFECTIVE💪
Thank you so much 👍
Finally some one who explains things in simple and organised way with zero unnecessary talks....Keep up the good work..👍
Thank you 😊
Exactly, straight to the knowledge. I loved this video.
This channel is most underrated with less views i don't know why, the contents in the video is very easy to follow with good technicals, for aquarium hobbyist DIY enthusiast your channel is providing great knowledge good luck wish ur channel grow
Thank you 😊
@@madebykm @Literally, OMG So much informative video, Genuinely Quality Rich Content
This is really unfortunate that this channel is underrated, aquarist caring for plants must watch this video. I too have started planted tank and obviously made this co2 generator for my plants.
Same ingradients packed in a pack and named as Aquario Neo DIY CO2 kit, that brand is selling this same stuff explained in this video for $30 and refils for $20. Crazy. Thanks a lot Kaushik. You are a legend as always I am following you since 2 years and in this aquarium hobby. Read a lot books, reddit, videos but no one is like you. You are the best.
Thank you 😊
I agree, this is the single biggest underrated channel. I really don't know why. Thank you to the creator. 😊
Thank you too!
This channel deserves more subscribers….
Thank you
Your solid. On point. No babble. Best diy I've seen yet.
probably the best tutorial for DIY Co2 for aquariums.
This was the best tutorial ever on the subject! I’m glad I’ve waited to set it up until seeing your video! 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!
I just came across your video as I'm considering adding co2 to my next Aquascape. Thank you for making an easy step simple DIY instructional video, I have found your video to be one of the best ones for a newbie like me to follow. I was always daunted by anything to do with co2 but wish to attempt a nice carpet in my next tank. Thanks again 😀
Welcome 👍
Good, easy to understand video. I use this for my 14 Liter Nano Tank. A very cheap and effective method to produce CO2. I don`t have a diffusor like your`s, I use an airstone hanging free in the tank. At day, when more CO2 is needed for my plants, I hang it down to the bottom of the tank. In the night, when no CO2 is needed, I lift the airstone to the water surface. So I don`t need to take the tube away every time.
I just tried it for my planted tank. It works perfectly. It's 3rd day already and hoping for a longer supply of co2... Thank you so much.
Thank you for the feedback.
is it working gud
Where did you get the airline connectors and check valve?
I love the DIY hacks that this channel has! They are simple but effective. I wish you the best!
Thank you
This is best DIY aquarium channel ever i seen ❤️❤️, Please sir make sure to display your aqua scaping with fully grown plants in thumbnail then the view automatically attracted. And always show your all decoration in video as example.❤❤

Such a brilliant guy is he
Super- i just bought planted aquarium and was worried how to provide co2 for plants- u really solved this issue..
Definitely gonna give try..
thanku thanku sooo much
Really brilliant idea👏👏👏👏👏👍
So nice of you
I have done DIY Co2 a lot of times before but stopped using them for no reason. I'm planning on doing it again soon. I already knew what I needed to do but this video is really informative. It showed you pretty much everything you need. Kudos to this Channel.
Thank you 😊
Very useful and effective video. I am just going to follow your process blindly. Thanks a lot Kaushik. Keep it up. God bless you 🙏
Thanks a lot
Awesome bro, I did it and within minutes after I setup the diy, I got the co2 bubbles. Now I need to check how long it produces co2
I have see this method before but no one explained it so well…..i love DIY….been using DIY co2 for about 2 years now and now i will make it with Agar Agar powder….Thanks and Regards
Glad it was helpful! You can also watch my other DIY CO2 video using jelly crystals...
@@madebykm did that already n liked it…..i am going to try both
Thanks :-)
Channel ho toh esa..straight to the point.
Thanks
Thanks ive made this co2 system today, no bubbles yet but they will show tomorrow, i guess. This is a great channel for diy guys like me :D THANKS
You’re welcome
You've explained everything precisely and perfectly. But, i wanted to know one thing that jelly you've made with agar agar powder how long it's gonna last? Hats off to you and sincerely thanks. You're making significant impact on this community .
Please check description, thank you.
tthank you my freind for your sharing idea's watching from PHILLIPINES🇵🇭
You’re welcome
Simply the best video.
this video is brilliant. if only there was a way of fitting a solenoid and timer it would be perfect for me, but I can't be there daily to manually turn it on and off
Great idea. Tried it and its running for the past 3 days and I am pleased. I liked your idea about just changing the yeast water once a week to make the CO2 generation last longer.
Thank you 😊
good morning Bro, after how long the bubbles start forming.
only yeast and water no need add sugar
@@rommelfronda831 normally you need to add sugar, thats what will get the yeast going, start the fermentation process
@@rommelfronda831 you need a source of sugar because yeast consume sugars and create alcohol and CO2 as a byproduct, without sugar the yeast will do nothing
Thank you for the information. I am going to adapt this to a grow-tent.
Best of luck!
great videos bro, there are people who uses very costly products and endorse their own products and makes videos of half an hour long....and call themselves hobbyists...those kind of people also have subs in lakhs, and people like you have only 1.8k..what a shame....you deserve much much more.
Thank you so much 🙏
Yeah true...
I like how you enlightened us of how this DIY CO2 Generator can supply the needed CO2 for the planted aquarium tanks. It is also easy to follow for those who don't even know how to take care of their aquatic plants. thank you and Keep it Up!!!
Thank you
Thank you so much for one of the best simple and in-depth tutorials I've ever had the pleasure to learn from 👏👀🙇♂️
Glad it was helpful!
Same ingradients packed in a pack and named as Aquario Neo DIY CO2 kit, that brand is selling this same stuff explained in this video for $30 and refils for $20. Crazy. Thanks a lot Kaushik. You are a legend as always I am following you since 2 years and in this aquarium hobby. Read a lot books, reddit, videos but no one is like you. You are the best.
Can you please research on that same products from Aquario Neo DIY CO2 kit last for 50-60 days for 10-25 gallon tank without changing any yeast solution. Please reverse engineer that and make another banger video why its lasting that much and you can replicate this video in 3rd latest 2023 part.
All the best. Lots of love brother from Pune.
Ok, I will try, thanks 😊
bro, your content is top tier!
Glad you think so!
Man you are awesome. Simple and straightforward. Just subscribed :)
Thanks and welcome
Bro do review of product available in market for aquascaping and stuff . Would love your insights and find cheap method to have a fun hobby
I will try my best 🙂
One thing I noticed, in my experiences, is hot glue can sometimes fall apart when exposed to humidity for prolonged amounts of time, such as a DIY CO2 system… just saying. It may work for some people, and it is very useful for many things, but when water is involved it can become disintegrated or corroded, possibly causing a leak in the system. But I would just stick with the waterproof silicone to avoid that. 😀
Great tip!
You are the best.. love from kerala
Thank you 🙏
Indian is the most genius race in asia.. too many invention come from them.. tq bro for your inspiration..

Thank you 🙏
so gooooooooooooooood my friends😘, very thanks
Thank you too
Great Video thanks 🙏🏻 I've one question,
What did you put in the Arga powder?
Thankyou for sharing this im making this today.
👍
well explained.. Thanks bro
Welcome 👍
Hi sir. I have important question.
Thanks so much for your video, it helps me a lot.
1. How long (in hour) would you recommend the Agar-agar turns to jelly before i can put the yeast inside?
2. I've waited for 1 day, but the diffuser still didn't produce co2, whether glass or ceramic diffuser. Is this normal?
3. The yeast is leaking from the co2 generator bottle, how do i overcome this?
Thanks so much for your video again.
Very professional explanation
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Thanks for your wonderful video.
Instead of agar powder I used China grass after few day jelly getting dissolved with sugar+yeast water.
What to do in such case. Please guide❤
Simple yet well detailed guide video 👍
Glad you liked it
Thank you sir make video on DIY Light for Planted Aquarium
Sure 👍
What happens if this puts too much co2 in the water? That's what I'm worried about because apparently it can kill your fish. Really good video btw!
The CO2 concentration above 30-35 ppm in aquarium water is toxic for most aquarium life. A single CO2 generator such as this will never produce that much CO2. Therefore, it is completely safe for all aquarium life. The CO2 production in this method also depends on the amount of yeast used. More yeast = more CO2. This means that you can easily control the CO2 production by adjusting the amount of yeast and thus get your required CO2 rate (bubbles per second) for your tank. You can also use a CO2 drop checker to measure the CO2 levels in your tank. Thank you.
Good video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
We can just keep refilling the bottle with yeast water at the top? When will we need to replace the bottom agar agar jelly layer?
I want to say first and foremost thank you so much for the video. I’ve watched tons and yours is by far the best! I want to make sure I’ve done this correctly. I’ve had it set up for a couple hours now and I’m seeing bubbles in the bottle with water in it (no bubbles are forming in the diffuser 😕). But only 1 bubble every 21 seconds. I’ve checked for leaks and I don’t have any. Does it need more time to build up co2? Or should I make the yeast water again with more yeast? I halved the amount of each ingredient because the bottle I have is not large enough.
Yes, it will take more time for the pressure to build up and then the diffuser will work. You don’t have to make the yeast-water again, just add more yeast to the solution, CO2 production will increase. For more information, please see the video description. Thank you.
@@madebykm okay thank you. Another question. Is there supposed to be water inside the diffuser itself? I have the claves diffuser
Is it a glass diffuser? Usually there is water inside the CO2 diffuser.
How much time to generate the co2 gas in the bottle ?
Thank you very much
You are welcome
Thank you so much this was a wonderful video!
You’re welcome
Thanks for this great info. My ramirezi try to eat the bubbles of CO2 from the difusser, is not harmful to the fish? 👍
No, it’s not harmful at all. Fish sometimes play with the bubbles, they do the same in my aquarium also.
Brilliant mate thank you! Subed!
Thanks
Awesome ideas
Thank you! 😊
It’s reality a fantastic idea
But one question is there
When we don’t need co2 supply,we have to disconnect the pipe- thats ok
But how to stop the process of co2 building up in that bottle- wont it burst if its not released..
Please see description
what is the use of the second bottle?
You are brilliant.
Thank you
Very interesting & informative video. Must try. Thank you bro for your valuable information. 😊
Most welcome 😊
That’s crazy smart.
Thanks 👍
You deserve more subscriber! keep it up brother
Thank you
Thanks, good video. I will try this soon and share my feedback.
1) can this be made without check valve?
2) I have a 70 ltrs tank. Will this be sufficient?
3) How long should I keep the supply on?
4) Can this be used in all seasons (across 12 months)
1) If you do not use the check valve, aquarium water can flow back into the bottle.
2) If you have medium to high density plants in this aquarium, then you need to use two CO2 generators.
3) As long as the lights are ON in the aquarium, CO2 should be provided.
4) Yes
Thanks for your prompt response!
first of all, thank you for sharing! also, how do you change the content of the bottle (the yellow part that sits on the bottom)? or does it decrease (in terms of height) as it is consumed?
Every thirty days, the jelly needs to be replaced, and during that time, it will melt and crumble. You can easily remove it at that point by pressing the bottle.
Hi, I am new to this channel and recently saw this video. Very informative. You mentioned disconnecting when CO2 is not needed. Won't that leak the CO2 which is generated.
CO2 will be continuously produced in the bottle, so there will be no problem. Another option is to use an air stone at night to keep the oxygen level in the aquarium water high. Thanks.
@@madebykmis there any specific use of the check valve. I have a normal flow controller, can i use that
The check valve will prevent the backflow of water from the aquarium into the bottle.
Thanks for confirming 😊. Will post results once setup is complete.
Success!!! Thanks Kaushik for this amazing DIY . I used a cigarette filter as a diffuser.
There are many DIY CO2 videos on RUclips. But you are the only person who can provide complete details.
Thanks for the complete guide.
I am building this same CO2 system right now.
However, I have questions. How long has this jelly solution lasted for your setup?
The jelly should be replaced every 30 days. Thanks.
@@madebykm Got it. Is there a way to dispose of the jelly? I believe it is poisonous too.
It is not considered poisonous; it will only turn inedible 😝😄. When you want to discard the jelly, just squeeze the bottle, and it will come out effortlessly.
@@madebykm noted, thanks a lot. Hey, I just made this system today and it is working perfectly fine 😍
Great 👍
Sir thank you for sharing the knowledge we will keep supporting your channel.
Sir but my jelly is converted to liquid in first week but it is providing enough CO2 .
Did you use agar agar, or gelatin? Also, check the Description for more information.
Thank You very much for this Video..
I have one question. how much time we need to run this co2 in 20 Gallon Aquarium with full plants ?
If I run CO2 for 12 hours will my fish die ?
CO2 must be supplied as long as the light is on. Even if you run this DIY CO2 24/7 there will be no problem. Just run an air pump at night to keep the oxygen level in the aquarium water high.
Helloowwww ..... feelinn blessed that i found this videoo but i have a doubt ,here the co2 will runn 24 7 with continuous flow .If i have to stop the cot flow then what m i supposed to do???
if we removed the tube from check valve the coz will get waste right???
You can keep it running 24/7 and run an air stone at night to keep the oxygen level in the aquarium water high. Also check description for more information. Thanks.
Hello, thank you for this well explained video. I just have a simple question; can we do the same with Plastic kitchen containers with large caps instead of coke bottles?
Dear can i use stone instead of a diffuser?
Hi , the video on DIY co2 kit you posted is very easy to follow - thank you .
Can you please tell me what are the valves you used ?
I used aquarium check valves - amzn.to/3Ltf2ge It allows air to flow in one direction only and prevents water from siphoning out of the aquarium. Thank you.
Thank you
We can keep check valve or air controller
how many days the jelly produce co2
Can we use gelatine poweder instead of jelly powder? If yes how many grams ?
Good work up 👍
Thanks ✌️
Thanks dada...
Welcome 😊
Hello Kaushik,
Thank you for this gr8 video, i hv prepared everything accordingly, plse can you tell me after how long the fermentation process will start and CO2 will be produced. It has already been half an hr and there is still no result
Wait a few hours, it will start. Also, see the video description for more information. Thank you.
Hi Kaushik, Thank you for sharing such great videos. I made a CO2 reactor using the yeast and sugar method but whenever I try to bring the water pipe to the bottom of the tank the bubbles stop and CO2 stops. Also, the pressure is too less. Please help
You can use 1/2 teaspoon yeast instead of 1/4 teaspoon to produce more CO2 and increase pressure. Also, place the diffuser in a specific place inside the tank. When enough pressure is created, it will work perfectly. Also check the description box for more information. Thanks.
How to disconnect co2 at night ..in diy process
Very good video. Keep it up brother
Thank you
Superb😍👌
Thanks
ur a legend
Thanks
Thanks for information...😊
Welcome 😊
Hey Kaushik!
You're doing an amazing job. And I totally agree that this channel deserves many more followers. I've been toying with the idea of DIY Carbon kit for my 77 litre tank. And I'm definitely up for trying your method, which btw is so cool and thoughtful. I just have one question though, can I attach the CO2 outlet to my existing power head filter, which I also use for O2, at the same time? Like there's O2 and CO2 being dispersed into the aquarium by the same power head.
Thank you. I request you to watch my DIY CO2 diffuser video. There I showed how to use a power filter to diffuse CO2 gas in a planted aquarium.
And when you use CO2 (when the lights are ON) you don't have to inject / disperse air into the aquarium. CO2 is not required at night or when the lights are off. At that time you can disperse air through a power filter or use an air pump / air stone.
Thank you for your prompt response, much appreciated. Tumi darun chele 😁 hope my Bengali is still good
Thank you 😊. Your Bengali is great 👍
Btw, have you got Instagram?
