Free C02 regulator
"Sir Douglas Cook" wrote in message ...
.... I am just suggesting that just one person out there might just want to try this "FREE" CO2 PUMP before they fork out the cash. Since I add baking soda one 2L bottle will last over a month, and after all my homemade CO2 filter is simple to make and did I say "FREE", "FREE", "FREE". The nice part about it is most of my friends that have CO2 pumps said to me that "If only they tried my method first they wouldn't have bought a C02 pump" because they care about their fish primarily. I think you will find that many more than one person have used DIY CO2 methods in the past and many more are still using them today. I for one used it for the best part of 7 years and while it's relatively cheap, it unfortunately does not give a steady CO2 output like a pressurized CO2 setup provides. Seeing that fluctuations seem to be your biggest concern, you will find that a pressurized setup will give you more stable levels in the best interest of your fish. And of course, it's very nice to simply forget about it for a year until it needs to be filled again. As with the rest of your arguments, I think someone may be leading you the wrong way personally, regardless of their education or scientific status. While I'm sure it's not intentional, it is close minded of them. There are limits in all things and I believe they are looking at it from one extreme only, CO2 in planted tanks with fish is just fine if kept in reasonable concentrations (15-30ppm in general). I think if you mention this to these people they will agree. If not, well.... I'm sorry but they are mistaken. If you are interested, here's an article on DIY CO2 that I posted a little while ago, it's nothing new and there are many ways of doing it. http://www.gpodio.com/diy_co2.asp And if you want to dig even further or perhaps print something out for your friends to look over: http://www.qsl.net/w2wdx/aquaria/diyco2.html Now I'm not sure if you were just stating a point or if your friends really do wish they were doing the DIY CO2 thing rather than pressurized, if so, I will buy their CO2 equipment off them and even throw in a couple empty soda bottles to get them started ;-) Trust me, we are not all crazy here! :-) Regards Giancarlo Podio www.gpodio.com |
