make some homemade co2, my plants literally have flourished back to life, i need liquid ferts though!

2l bottle
3/4 tsp yeast
3/4 tsp baking soda
warm water up to where bottle curves
check valve
air tube

it pumps CO2 out brilliantly, and mine has gone on, now, for around 6 days now, and is still pumping out co2 (mines connected to a powerhead)

what are your water stats?

depening on what plants you have you could use easylife easycarbo, its a carbon supplement, acts just like c02

I would like to try and make the 2L bottle yeast thing. lol
Where would i get some yeast???

I have all the other things to hand somethwere in my fish cupboard (check-valve, air line)

Would it have the pressure to run through an air stone?

and how long would a mix last? 2weeks???

P.S. Its the first dsay back on liquid ferts and i have just installed another fluval U3 filter with carbon, will this bind up any of the ferts or is it just nitrates?

how many watts are the tubes? just to clarify?

you should be fine adding some easy carbo instead of DIY CO2 as it isnt cost effective on a larger tank

as for ferts TPN+

I was once told that if I put wood in my tank to add an algae eater, the 1s that get 5". For they eat the rotting wood.
