Default nutrafin CO2 system

Hi,

so is the container that comes with the nutrafin system not optimal for DIY
yeast brew? or is it just fancy version of a soda bottle..?

Don't buy the complete system. You can get just the bubble counter
part from PetSolutions.com (part number 15517698). Connect it to a DIY
CO2 system (two-liter yeast bottle) using the supplied airline tubing,
and you're all set.

It works quite well. You can actually see the CO2 bubbles shrink
dramatically as they work their way through the bubble counter.

also, how long does a typical chemical mixture last for a low KH, 30G
aquarium with moderate planting?


Depends on the DIY recipe you're using. Lots of variations out there,
you just have to try them until you find one that works for you.
