Hi guys
I wanted a c02 system purposely coz i wanted to keep densely planted tank, and also to lower pH. I've been thinking about getting a c02 system but though it was too expensive to purchase, and decided to go into DIY. However, I have basically NO knowledge at all with these thing. I'm still researching on these topics, but still no directions lol.
Anyway, building the system isn't too hard by the look of it. I'm planning to do something like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIRf3...eature=related
But... I'd also found that attaching an air-stone in the end of the system isn't adequate. is this true?? or do I need to make a proper reactor system? What's the most appropriate way to build these reactor? (not too complex please ^_^)
Moreover, since i'm planning to use the c02 in my 40 gallon tank, with probably easy to medium planted tank how much c02 is needed (how about 2cups of sugar and 1/2tsp yeast)? Is it appropriate to remove the c02 at night time or would using airstone at nighttime be enough?
soooo much questions ><
thanks guys
