Hey how does the brown sugar stack up against the white? I know you connected to the same bubble counter so you cant tell im just curious. BTW This recipe works great I got bubles the next morning about 2 every six seconds by mid day. Great Job buddy

For this batch I just used 1/4 cup brown with 1 3/4 white because i didn't have any more brown lol. I used brown with out monitoring the difference I can't see any though.

Here is what the man who made it told me,
"before coming up with the recipe i just gave you i did some experimenting. I found that brown sugar allows for more co2 production at the cost of no lasting long. White sugar had longevity. so i mixed them together to try to have both benefits"

I redid it with shapes! From the dragons it goes into the Centaur and then to the Menotaur. Any questions about it just ask.

I have one 2L bottle empty with some gravel in it as an overflow for any waste that might come out, but frankly I dont need it, it seems. You dont seem to have one and im guessing the check valve would slow down and liquid even though not totally so what do you think?

I ask because im inspired by your setup to make that empty bottle a co2 producer as well

Well, I don't know how to quote more than one so here goes.

Never thought about the over flow thing but my bottles are level with my system. Never dreamed I would need it.

I actually took out the check valve but I do recommend it and I will use it on my next system... you'll see.

And thank you but I am not the first. these started in the 60's

O yes the bubbles are fast! ha. I'm trying to grow them to fill more tanks lol not to stay small. All preference though.

Here is my Next Video! proof yet again that it is working great and everything is doing it's job.

Sorry I broke my promise and went to 5"35. Sorry guys. Good vid though!
