DIY CO2 Mixtu A definitive Answer?

So you're using the Hagen diffuser with your own bottle? Correct. I wanted the diffuser from the moment I saw one in the store. But I also wanted to go on the cheap as much as I could. I'm only getting 1 bubble per 6 seconds tops! I'll try your recipe with my own bottle and see what happens. The thing is it only lasts one week right? I suppose you prepare your new bottle 1 day ahead of time? I'm cheating - I've got two bottles hooked up, with staggered start times. The plan is that each week I'll replace the oldest bottle's mixture, which means that I'm keeping each bottle on for two weeks. And I also keep the bottles in the same cabinet as the ballasts for my DIY lighting modification to the Eclipse hood. This keeps them slightly warmer than room temperature, which probably contributes. The plan hasn't had much chance to work in actual practice yet. As I mentioned, I have a tendency to knock the bottles over which screws things up. Plus, I did a poor job of sealing the airline connection to the caps the first time around, and had to deal with that about two weeks ago. So this is really my first successful run - I haven't knocked the bottles over all week. -- www.ericschreiber.com |
