Long Lasting DIY CO2 System for Planted Aquarium | Jelly Method
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
This video is about making a long lasting DIY CO2 system for planted aquarium using jelly powder, sugar, yeast and baking soda. This low budget DIY CO2 system is cheap but highly effective and will last longer than other common methods. With this method, you can provide carbon dioxide to your aquarium plants for 3 to 4 weeks (~1 month). In the video, you will learn how to build a long lasting DIY CO2 generator kit for aquarium, followed by the recipe for carbon dioxide production.

I am not sure where I went wrong... I even switched the normal baker's yeast with wine yeast so that the fermentation ability and duration will be higher.. but no luck.. Now am almost giving up on DIY CO2 and inquiring CO2 cylinders.. I am not worried about the cost but having a CO2 clinder in my house (esp with a kid) is not giving me comfort.. so am stuck.. any insight you can give will be appreciated.. BTW I also tried baking soda Citric acid.. but it is a hassle changing them and filling bottles too often

Hello, Could you please tell, is there is any problem, if we completely closed the bottle. Suppose we are not using this CO2 gas for a long time (after preparing). Looking for your reply
@madebykm
4 ай бұрын
This is different from a pressurized CO2 system where the CO2 gas can be stored. In this method, the yeast will continuously produce CO2 in the bottle during the fermentation process, and this CO2 production cannot be stopped. Forcibly stopping the flow of CO2 gas will completely damage the CO2 kit.
during off light what do you suggest to stop the co2 from running. Do i let it bleed out of the aquarium?
@madebykm
2 жыл бұрын
You can run an air-pump / air-stone at night to agitate the water surface of your tank to keep the oxygen level high or, you can disconnect the tubing of the CO2 generator from the check valve to stop giving CO2 to the aquarium at night.

Thanks Kaushik, i could get this system working at home. Only thing is the reaction starts slow, we need to wait for a few hours. Initially i wasn't patient enough. But then left it for good and during night sometime the reaction started well and its going great now. I have the CO2 in my aquarium and you saved me atleast 10k on full set up. Great going.

Check Valves or Non-Return Valves allow air to flow in one direction (into the tank) and stop water from flowing in the other direction (out of the tank). For more information, see the video description.

Ok, do the following: 1. Check for leaks in the CO2 system by entirely submerging the system along with the diffuser into a bucket of water. If you see bubbles coming out of any joints, there is a leak, and you need to fix it accordingly. 2. Use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of branded, good-quality yeast and use warm (not hot) water to activate it. 3. The CO2 diffuser also needs to be cleaned regularly, as its pores occasionally get clogged after continuous use. 4. Change the yeast solution weekly to maintain a stable CO2 supply in the tank. Thank you.
