Yes I use 2 2l bottle. the bottles are kinda deformed because I pour boiling water(2 cups) in it to sterilize it.

The air line is long because I want to make sure I can place it where I want without limitation in the tank.

While the water was still very hot, I poured the sugar(2 cups) and closed it. I then mixed it and let it sit for a while next to the window so it cool down. Using a thermometer, I waited for 100F to pour 1/4 teaspoon of yeast.

I did another experiment. using a 1l bottle. same method, but 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon of yeast. I replaced the green one with the 1L.

I want to make sure of the effects and performance before installing it in my 25gal.

thanks for the fast reply and stay tuned.
