    My DIY Co2 is running good. (water,yeast,sugar)
    3Ft 100L going for 3 bubbles p.sec.
    Then clean co2 is going to a stone in tank for mini bubbles.
    Put it under the over flow of my HOB filter.
    The guppy's look happy and the plants will shoot out I hope:blink1:

    Some advice is welcome

    Enjoy fish buddy's:cool:

    "Clean CO2" - I assume you are using a gas/liquid separator to prevent yeast from going to the tank?
    Also have a look at CO2 - water reactors, even though a air stone under your HOB will help, have a look at CO2 ladders or similar

    Thanks Digigram will do so.
    I let the 1st co2 yeast air bubbel in clean water.
    Then from there to the tank hope I do it the proper way.

    Enjoy

    Yip, seems like the right way. There are a couple of options to keep your mixture going a long time. One of the options (which I wrote an unpublished paper on - no, not about fish but as part of bio-ethanol experiments) would be to introduce your sugar over a period of time. Say start out with half the normal and add some each couple of days. Small scale it might be a waste of time, but for the scale needed for bio-ethanol production it sure works great, especially if you remove some of the yeast and alcohol as you go.
