Just sticking the co2 line into the tank is about as good as breathing
rapidly on 1 plant in your garden hoping it will grow faster because of the
extra CO2, no pun intended. =)

This setup is pushing at least 2 - 3 bubbles per second. I had the tube
stuck into the Eheim intake, but I had to remove that. I came back from
dinner and my tank was filled with millions of tiny bubbles. The filter
is
still ejecting all the bubbles. Maybe I should remove one of the bottles
for now and see what one does.

Will the bubbles be dissolved into the water if I just let it bubble to
the
surface?

thanks.

Hi.

http://www.geocities.com/slimflem/co2/

Here are some pics of my DIY CO2 system I made today. These wine
bottles
are about 3 L. I used 2 cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of yeast, and 1/2
teaspon
of baking soda. After the bottles have been sitting for about 1.5
hours,
I
am already getting bubbles from the airline...about 1 per second. I
thought
it took at least overnight for the yeast to activate. Could this be CO2
this early on? Could it be due to the fact that the yeast was room
temperature when I made the mix? Or is this just air being pushed out
of
the bottles and not really CO2 yet?

Also, from looking at the picture, tube_in_filter.jpg, does this look ok
for
injecting it into my tank?

Thanks,
Jesse
