Hi all,
I recently setup a new tank, and I was debating setting up a DIY CO2 yeast reactor. I was wondering if this is worth doing and what exactly the benefits would be. From what I can tell, CO2 reactors primarily accelerate growth. I know they are not necessary, but they are great for some tanks.
The design I am considering is just a simple 2 liter plastic bottle with a tube fed into my filter intake. Does this design work for anyone else?
Any comments and advice would be great. Below are the specs for my tank. Thanks.
-Chad
Size: 29 gallon
Lighting: 65 watts
Ferts: Seachem line (not started yet)
Filtration: Penguin 350
Temp: ~80
Plants:
1 - Red rubin
1 - Ruffled Sword
5 - Subulata
1 - Hornwort
2 - Crypt petchii
1 - Anubias congensis
2 - Aquarium Lily
2 - Crypt spiralis
1 - Java Moss
1 - Wisteria
1 - Crispus
2 - Rotala
Fish:
8 - Rasporras
1 - betta
1 - bn pleco
2 - loaches
2 - blue rams (soon)
... more possibly
