Too Much Co2?

[fiskkeeperpro]

I havent got anything to measure my CO2 at the moment but today i made up a mixture and added it. I filled up to the first line with sugar, 1tsp dried yeats. Added some bi-carb and then tepid water. Within 2hrs CO2 was forming, within 3hrs my tank was cloudy. I only have 1 plant in there at the moment, could that be why it went cloudy? Or is it because i have too much CO2 being produced? The tank is 125l.

Thanks

Will

The mixture has probably got into your tank so you will need to do a water change.

It is neither. 1 kit will not produce enough for a 125Ltr to overdose wether it be 1 plant or filled with plants. You have put too much yeast, or too much water in your cannister and the yeast mix has entered the tank water.

Best mix in a nutrafin is sugar to the first line, ½teaspoon (properly measured) yeast, lukewarm water to second line, shake and connect. Change weekly.

If you have any fish in your tank then you should do a water change asap if you haven't already
