Free C02 regulator
Oh,,, you called me a name! That was nice was it... eh.
Read on,,, First!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Co2 pump are so easy to make why would anyone pay for one??????????????? Simply take a pop bottle and drill a hole in the cap to fit a air line... and glue air line connector to the cap and attach a airline to the connector. And your done. Fill with 1/4 sugar, 1 tsp yeast, and Optionally 1 tsp baking soda to slow the process. Add water up to 2/3 of the bottle and place the FREE Co2 PUMP in a place where it can't be knocked over and pump liquid waste directly into your aquarium. Put the other end of the airline hose through and under your undergravel filter where there is lots of surface area for the gas to exchange. Second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It all depends on how thoughtful you are to your fish. Please, Please Read Tropical Fishlopaedia A Complete Guide to Fish Care Author Mary Bailey and Peter Burgress. This book states,,, On page98,,, heading Factors Affecting oxygen content of Water Quoted from the book: "C02 injection. In recent years some aquarists have used this process, whereby carbon dioxide is added (from a gas cylinder) to the aquarium, in order to promote plant growth. CO2 injection must be used with considerable care, if at all. Remember that high CO2 levels may reduce the oxygen uptake of the water and lead to a risk of hypoxia in the fish, especially if the aquarium is crowded and /or the fish include species with a high oxygen requirement. Some aquarists try to get round this problem by using additional aeration, but, while this will certainly increase the oxygen content and benefit the fish, it will at the same time drive off the carbon dioxide, making the CO2 injection a rather pointless exercise! CO2 injection should always be turned off at night - When the plants do not need it." Third!!!!!!!!!!
