This is for my 10g planted. DIY CO2 started about 1 week ago.
2c granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp fast rise instant yeast
room temp water
For a week, I can see action in my juice bottle but nothing was bubbling in the tank (air stone below a bell) unless I shake the bottle. Checked no leaks at any of the connections.
All of a sudden, last night, it started bubbling like crazy (~ 5 bubbles/sec). This is too fast for the bell to contain. Is this because I'm using the wrong kind of yeast ? Do you only find wine yeast at wine stores ? Is it just plain old regular yeast I should be using ?
