DIY CO2

Yeah mine was gasping, then over night it died.

I think you have too many bottle on that tank for the size. I have two and im getting the right levels of Co2. I think you wouldnt need an air stone for the fisdh if you just cut down to 2 bottle or 1 and a half.

I dont know if its been mentioned yet or not in this thread, but running CO2 overnight can cause a drop in your ph. I just have my venturi pumps hooked up to a timer.

I am using two bottles. The third it the yeast catcher.

I actually care more about how fast I can grow my plants now rather than the one red zebra in there right now. I need to buy some more so I can get enough to stock a 75. I am not sure how many bottles I will have going on that setup... I want it to be MAJOR green.

What kind of nutrients are they getting? If you only have one fish in there, there might not be enought nitrates for the plants

That seems logical. When there were 5 fish they grew 5 times as fast literally... hmm.
