How I make a low budget, long lasting, DIY CO2 Generator for my planted aquariums!
This low budget DIY CO2 generator should provide about a month of free CO2. How do you CO2? Let me know in the comments :) In this video I show how I make the slow-release yeast food (Sugar-gelatin) and the Multiplication supercharger (sugar and water) to set up a colony of CO2 producing yeast that will last for about a month. The system I built includes a relief valve that allows you to divert CO2 away from your tank (addressing the "Can't shut it off" issue). This is also scalable, let me know if you want a scaled version with multiple bottles in another video.
