Awesome! Thank you!

Which Fluval CO2 kit did U buy? Im interested to hear more of ur experience & I’ll be glad to hear your honest appraisal .. I wish I could afford to purchase an Fluval kit , even if only to discover I HATED it. What part of the kit didn’t you like or didn’t work for you? Would you be interested in selling it by any chance please? I look forward to you response & hope you consider selling to a n Aussie Nerdy noob fish girl ready to dive headfirst into Co2!! Cheers.

@@MissBuilderBear it's $20 usd and each cartridge runs out in 2 days. A pack of 3 replacement co2 cartridges costs $17 usd. Not worth it at all

The silicone caulking should be put on the inside of the cap, not the outside. It will hold the pressure up to rupture of the bottle (approx 100-150psi).

Did it worked? :3

Just uploaded a new video about diy CO2 😬 it’s very similar, just a better quality. And yeah the second bottle stops yeast from getting out of the diffuser 😊

@@MJAquascaping right on time! Perfect!😊👍

Great to hear!

You can do it!

Glad it helped!

@@MJAquascaping followed the video and a DIY diffuser video and it’s working like a charm. The diffuser is made using a chopstick cut down into a reed basically. Thanks again 👍

I used this method but even after 1 days and 5 hours still no bubbles are forming ,i used blueberry syrup mix instead of gelatine and air stone instead of diffuser can you help ,by the way love your videos

@@vikalawa5301 I think gelatin is important to his method to slow down the sugar consumption so the yeast doesn’t choke itself out producing too much alcohol too quickly. Is there any pressure buildup so far? That would at least let you know something is halfway working. If there isn’t any pressure and the bottle squeezes easily then there may be a hole somewhere in the cap/line that needs to be glued better, or the lid of the bottle may have something on it preventing a good seal.

@@dustin89clanton no their is no pressure build up

Never seen anyone do that in this method , is it really working? Iam using this method for 2 years now

I know this is an old comment but just in case anyone else sees this do not try to shut it off at night, the bottle will explode, if your worried just run an air stone on a timer at night to maintain oxygen levels

Cool! Let me know how it works for you 👍

@@MJAquascaping I definitely will.

Try an air stone instead of diffuser, not enough pressure maybe. Turn off at night to increase pressure

How? Mine just won't work. Can't even find any leaks. Do you heat your house all year and never open windows etc. Mine only worked the first few hours (probably due to warm water and that extra tbs of sugar) and stopped. Now a bubble every 10+ minutes if I'm lucky and still not a single co2 bubble out of my diffuser.

took a while! haha

😝😝😝

ja! doe ik normaal ook, maar voor deze video had ik die even niet in huis.

I made one of these systems this week and I was getting no pressure. The diffuser was just a tank decoration. The system was pushing a bubble a second. I tried various diffuser options and was getting no bubbles. Today I checked the whole line system and found a small leak. Remade the line system, pressure and bubbles with glass diffuser was instant with the newly sealed system. I nearly gave up with this system. But I am a bit of a stubborn git, so rechecked everything, and boom, fixed. Now watchinh little bubbles flooding my tank.

Ideally you would use silicone glue, because that stays flexible, but regular superglue works as well.

Nothing 😊 just keep the CO2 running 24/7 if you have some surface agitation from your filter you will be fine

He said it in the video, it’s a liter of water

Yes, correct!

Where the result sir?

Hi Nathalie! Thank you 😊 No unfortunately that's not possible. If you would shut the system, the pressure would keep building up and i guess the bottle would explode 🤔 so although it is a very cheap solution, this is definitely the biggest downside.

@@MJAquascaping ok thanks !

at least

hahaha thnx man! we will get there!

Best would be to have the oxigen pump only at night!

@@MJAquascaping and can i take co2 out of water by night?

We have 2 cats, and they just love to drink from the tanks.. 😂 they don't care about the fish at all. So we just let them drink from it, there's no harm in that.

@@MJAquascaping now there's a picture, thanks Mark, it certainly gives me hope that both kitten and fish will be able to live together in harmony. I saw a video of a cat diving into a full tank the other day 😅, this is my first time owning pets, wish me luck! 🙂

@@sweetdreamstime2266 I have a cat and a fish tank that stay almost exclusively in my room. I did have to install a mesh aquarium cover because i was worried she would get into the tank while im at school or away. I very highly recommend a steel mesh cover for a tank. They are pretty cheap and all you have to do for tubing or cables is cut a few diamonds off with butcher scissors or pliers.

@@wildfiretoff2789 thank you for the advice 👍🏽

I prefer the diffusers with the brown ceramic disc, like the aquario, twinstar, dennerle etc. But tbh every diffuser will work as long as your system is completely sealed

@@MJAquascaping Thanks for reply. I had one of the glass diffusers from amazon, one of the cheaper ones.The diffuser had a good review. I run DIY kit with citric acid and baking soda.Its with gauge always showing nice pressure between 1.5 and 2 but for that diffuser I had to open the generator full and it was almost not making any bubbles.It was air tight. I think maybe it was faulty or maybe only suitable for very high pressure. I connected cheap small stone now and it's making very tiny bubbles which is really amazing for this type of stone I think it's a lucky stone, one in 1000.All the best MJ, waiting for more of Your videos.

For a 30 liter tank 1 bps should be enough

@@MJAquascaping thanks a lot

yep no problem!

You can scale this to any tank size. Just add more bottles or use bigger bottles with double the recipe! experiment with it!

Yep more yeast will for sure speed things up! if you wanna go really crazy you can also leave the gelatine out. But both these things will reduce the longevity of the bottles, so you will have to replace them more often. (2-3 weeks)

Nope that wouldn't work well or maybe not work at all as it will either produce very large bubbles or might not produce at all as it requires high pressure to produce bubbles

Its answered at 11:50

300 ml and 5 grams of gelatine

Thank u

Yep!

Why dont we can use metallic bottles, so for the night its possible to shud down the co2 ?

Perfectly fine to inject CO2 24/7 👍😊

A proper CO2 diffuser like the Aquario neo diffuser

It might, be that's not a problem, if you want to avoid it you can try adding a little bit less water.

Not too sure, just give it a try i think? 😊

@@MJAquascaping all right and what do i do with the liquid after its done bubbling.. distill it? 😏

I used gelatin powder. One packet, -+5-9g is the same as three sheets. Actual jelly to make food is full of sugar, flavourings etc

after 4-5 weeks you will notice that less Co2 bubbles are coming from the diffuser. at this point you could probably wait another 2 weeks. but its better to change it a little earlier, so you keep consistent co2 levels in your tank.
