Hey there

Had to clean my glass difuser and the pressure forces some of the sugar-water-yeast stuff back in the tank

- not much, perhaps 10 - 20 centilitres.

I changed about 50% of the water and it allready looks better - but is there a danger for the tanks plants and fish?

Funny aspect - the tank smells a bit like beer

Below is a picture of a gas separator used for that exact situation.

Here is the website that describes how to make the separator.
