Hey all,
I recently added some DIY CO2 to my 56 gallon tank (2 x 2 liter bottles - 1/2 tsp yeast + 2 cups sugar mixture). I'm waiting on a pump to make a reactor so I'm currently feeding the CO2 bubbles through an airstone just below my intake pipe to a canister filter. I'm getting a long trail of small bubbles endlessly.
Tonight I've noticed my plants are all giving off small (tiny) bubbles from their leaves. This is particularly noticeable on my large Sword, but is present on all of my plants.
Is this a bad sign? Am I getting too much CO2? I didn't think it would be possible to over gas the tank with a comparatively small yeast mix, but now I'm not sure.
There is currently no livestock in the tank as I'm waiting for the cycle.
Do I need to make an adjustment? Water tests seem fine.
