how to sustain a good C02 rate with cold floor?
In our 48 gallon tank at work I've started to inject C02. I'm doing the DIY
method with 2 2L bottles. Unfortunetly, I can only sustain a c02 content of about 15ppm for a couple days and then it dies off. The floor where the bottles sit is concrete, and there is a hollow space under that floor as well (cool air underneath). Are the bottles cooling off too much and hindering effective C02 production? Or is there something wrong with the recipes. We've tried many different measurements of sugar and yeast...even 4 cups of sugar to about a teaspoon of yeast. It seems to fizzle out really nice and fast for the first few days and then peters out. I'm sure the sugar isn't used up THAT fast. Any suggestions for DIY for bigger tanks like 48gallon? Thanx!!!! -- Dave Picklyk www.picklyk.com/aquascape |
