Default DIY yeast CO2 problem

Why is it not workable? What is the limiting factor? Is it the
bubbles per minute? I don't expect anything magical, just a little
boost to the growth rate. Maybe it would offset the plant eating
tinfoil barb *******s' damage. I swear, as cool as they look, if
they don't cut out the plant munching, I'm going to trade them in!!

Personally, I _would_ trade them in.... IMO, in a plant tank, they have no
business being there... they're an ornamental fish, they look nice, serve no
other purpose other than to eat your plants...

IIRC, DIY Co2 production is very much maxed out at around 40g-55g mark,
theres a threshold of where saturation levels can't be acheived in such a
large tank for you to even notice it's there. Pressurized CO2, literally,
INJECTS the water with high amounts, that are unobtainable with DIY CO2..
that's why the virtual rule,
5-55g DIY can give you 15-25ppm, any bigger, then forget it...
55g + Pressurized...
