Hi, I am running 3x 2liter coke bottles together as a Co2 yeast reactor.

This time I think I made the recipe too strong.

I only saw it now that the yeast run over into my 3feet tank thru the tubing. Is this dangerous ?

I hope I dont kill all my fish ?

I don't think its dangerous for the fish but if you want to be ont the safe side do some WC to get rid of the mixture in the water. And its advisible to have a empty bottle in between the bottles with the mixtures in to prevent the yeast getting in the tank. Like for instance another 2L bottle running the tube in on the left side and exiting on the other so that any fluid in the tubing will get trapped inside the empty bottle and only the co2 gas going further into the tank.

Thank you so much for the advice Yster,

I connected a 4th 2liter coke bottle which works as an emergency overflo.
