My DIY CO2

[Phyroath]

Hello everyone,

I am the newest member of Aquaia Central and also a beginner in planted aquarium. Learning from the internet, I started my own planted tank - finishing the setup just last week with a few plants (It is difficult to find aquatic plants in pet store / local fish store in Cambodia). I did my own CO2 reactor and DIY yeast generator - see picture of my tank and my reactor using small filter with explanation. I happened to put a toothpick in the middle of the tube. Can anyone help whether my method is 100% efficient.

Here are the pictures (Did a manual drawings). Please help with your comments.

I will have the picture soon. Sorry I did not have a good camera. Actually the end of the CO2 bubbles becomes small something like the end of a flame however the tube is very short - I am trying a bit longer tube next time. I have only Java fern which produces a lot of small baby plants and some sword plants. Perhaps my yeast CO2 is too much for this 65 g tank. Thanks for your comments.

Here is a closed up look of the diffuser. I like DIY even though commercial one is available.
