How Many Bubbles Per Minute

[tom_os]

i have a nutrifin co2 thinng in my 60l tank

it says on the box it produces 30 bubles per min and on this site i have read thats what you should aim for

currently i have about 1 bubble per minute

i am using a recepie that was posted on this site yesterday, 1/2 tsp yeast/baking powder/marmite, pint sugar and pint of water

is there anything i can do to make more co2?

thanks

Think your CO2 is the same as mine, my mix is 1 tablespoon of yeast and the sugar added upto the first line as stated on the instructions then add luke warm water to the second line again as instructions suggested, shake or stir a little and then attach.

Im getting about 60 bubbles a minute within 10 mins from mine constant as from yesterday when it was installed.

i did the as the instructions sauid the first time and got about 20 bubbles an hour

so i tried this other recepie

i have added more yeast

when you say line, do you mean the pieces of plastic that stick out into the middle of the canister?

thankss

Yes m8, the line at the bottom is for the sugar the second 1 is water line add 1 tablespoon of yeast(5ml) and the suggested sugar and water on the instructions dont bother with the marmite or baking soda...i guess unless u have very soft water the soda isnt needed?

I also shortened the air tube supllied aswell just so it has to travel less

yeah, the more yeast you add the shorter it lasts. so im guessing every 5 days for optimum output
