I plan to make a DIY Co2 system for a small planted 3 gallon tank..
most of the articles I've read on DIY Co2 suggest using 2L bottles (2-3 of them connected) to give sufficient Co2 to the aquarium. However, those articles all seem to be aimed at standard or larger tank (30gallon +-)
So, if I am doing the DIY Co2 on a 3gallon tank, how big of a container should I use, and what proportion mixtures would be good.
Do you guys have any other suggestion on injecting Co2 in a 3g tank other thank using the DIY yeast bottle method? (i.e. would it be better/easier if I just add chemical containing carbon like once a day?)
Tank will have flourite black substarte, hairgrass, glosso/riccia/hc carpet plant (undecided). I will be using a 27W daylight compact fluorescent bulb 10-14hr per day.
