I just made a DIY CO2 system with a 2L bottle for my 29G. Bubbles are still coming slowly even though I made the mixture last night.
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon yeast
I used the bottom of a 16oz water bottle as a dome to capture the CO2 bubbles. Now I have a few questions.
1) The CO2 is trapped in the dome, and sometimes I see my fish going in there and going for air in the 'surface' of the water. Is this going to harm the fish?
2) How does the water make use of the gas? If my mixture stops producing CO2, will the amount of gas in the dome start to get less and less?
Thanks for any help!
