Today, I sprinkled bread yeast into my planted aquarium's waterfall.
My goals:
I'm building a low-tech, 20 gal, balanced ecosystem. My goal is to get cheap CO2 in the laziest way possible.
Here's my logic...
Yeast eat dissolved sugars and O2 (supplied by plants and waterfall)
CO2 rises (buffered by sand stone, egg shells, and the shells of all my living snails)
Yeast bloom triggers daphnia bloom (daphnia shells, I imagine, would have a buffering effect as well)
Daphnia feed betta. . .

I'll let you know how it goes.
