    Hola saludos. Le cuento que yo lo hice como usted lo describe, pero no duro mucho el co2, como 8 días, así que hice cambios en la mezcla utilice la misma cantidad de azúcar y agua, pero en vez de levadura utilice cascaras de piña, cortadas en tiras de una piña pequeña para introducirla en la botella, luego la agite vigorosamente para que el azucar se disolviera y lo conecte, dejándolo quieto. Al otro día ya estaba funcionando y cada día que pasa come mas presión, ya lo tengo mas de un mes funcionando y así seguirá. Lo bueno de esta mezcla es muy estable. :)

      Hola Orlando. Aprovecho tu experiencia para preguntarte, solo sale CO2 de la manguera? o trae consigo vapor de agua? lo necesito para una reacción química, no para esta aplicación

    instead of putting glue on the cap, you can just rill a 5.5mm hole and cut the tube at an angle and pull it through with plyers. air tight all the time, and not permanent

    thx for the vid. excellent info and i loved how you produced it.
    yeah i noticed your bubbles were huge with just a small piece of cloth. they go straight to surface and pop. google the plant guild power reactor... it's totally simple to make for yourself and it's the best working reactor i have ever seen. it sends co2 bubbles the size of pin needles throughout the tank

    for the diffuser i just attached a small piece of cloth to the end of the small filter, it does a good job distributing the bubbles through out my whole aquarium. Still ive been looking for a better diy diffuser i could easily make.

    It works a ton better if you feed the co2 into the pump impeller... much better diffusion.

  • @DAANSCRAFTS
    @DAANSCRAFTS 11 лет назад

    heres what happened to me: i made one too but without the filter at the end.
    i just used an air stone stuck to the end of the tube and i didnt even see much bubbles coming out in that time.....and in 40 minutes one of my guppies started gasping for water at the surface so i got scared and stopped everythingbut 2 days after i lost 2 cherry shrimps who were just for 3 days in my tank :( Now i am afraid to do this again...and i was thinking i should just buy the proper thing what do you think?

  • @MrJLN1

    how much do you think the whold "co2 bottle " last? SO you buy a air pump, buy another 3 way tube and then turn on and off co2 , is it true?

      Normal baking yeast is okay to use but brewers yeast will last a bit longer. This is the stuff I use and it works well. img.tesco.com/Groceries/pi/393/5015821122393/IDShot_540x540.jpg

    • @aaronc134
      @aaronc134 8 лет назад +2

      anthony pope buy a 2 way airline valve. connect it to the co2 out put and open one of the valves at night to let the Gass escape into your room instead

    Co2 comes right out of first bottle why does almost everyone use two or more bottles when one is really all u need??

    • @eminazaking
      @eminazaking 6 лет назад

      for filter

    • @TheRicoBentley
      @TheRicoBentley 5 лет назад

      Because when you have 2 bottles you have more control over the reaction and can even turn it off. When you have 1 the reaction is continuous and you end up wasting half the product at night.

      you release more CO2 by breathing out.

  • @gmindgjerd
    @gmindgjerd 5 лет назад

    Why would you need a backflash/flow valve? Nothing is burning and i am guessing this is not explosive. Otherwise, thanks.

    • @ibex33
      @ibex33 5 лет назад

      check valve is needed if the bottle array is at a level lower than you aquarium, once co2 generation stops, the water in the aquarium flows back out due to the siphoning effect. To prevent this a backflow valve/check valve is installed.

  • @jordanpw51

    ofc the plants like co2. they need it live.
