DIY CO2 Bottle for a small planted tank ❤

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Update. If you can use a cot glue gun..waaaaaay better then using silicone

[@danielramen1560]

waeow amazing tnx! how long will the yeast produce bubbles?

[@ashleyverdun3206]

Hot glue tends to lose its flex under water and becomes brittle and breaks - that's why they use the silicone for most tank repairs/decorations/etc. (I learned the hard way, haha)

[@atab101]

what is a cot glue gun?

I have watched a lot of videos and you are the only oneyhat explain it perfectly at work I am going to buy yeast and sugar on my way home and set u my own diy thanks

[@lissettfernandez9888]

Wow I thought CO2 was a much more difficult process You made it seem so easy and cheap thanks for the video ! I'll definitely be trying this

[@JuanLopez-lx1xh]

Lissett Fernandez how has it turned out ?10 months have passed.

[@swedishfish1931]

I felt the same way!

[@dgilbert222]

Really helpful :-) Can you show what the bubbles look like coming out the airstone and how long the sugar/yeast lasted please?

[@tamarasimpson2879]

to poke holes in plastic I use the metal handle of the old fashioned can opener, heated on my gas stove. the handle is a little smaller than the standard air line tubing and it's pretty easy to do

[@Mlmeme666]

Hi, sorry i would like to ask a question... if you take out the CO2 during the night... what happens to the yeast mixture? Do you just leave it close and would it still be producing CO2? How long can a mixture last for>?

[@TableTennis-Man]

It will explode violently

[@vanissaberg5824]

I used a screw driver heated on the stove to melt my holes in the cap. Less jagged edges that way. I just used plastic grocery bags to seal it and it didn't leak! Yay! Lol.

[@debbieurias5151]

Thank you, you made it easy to understand. I'm new to co2.

[@Satisfyingtoday]

A diffuser would help. $5-6

[@hillbillybackwoods]

Warm water with the sugar...lol.

[@musicalmarion]

Heat the tip of a screwdriver over a gas flame for a minute and then push it through the cap to make a hole

[@juwairiyahhaque3925]

i didn't think of that, thanks man!

[@membercup714]

Or get a wire hanger straightened out and heat it up . Don’t wanna warp your tools ;))

[@christiantonello8905]

Or open wide a pair of scissors and use the bladed side, point it and twist it around till the hole has the desired size. And it'll come round too! LOL

[@gabrielatienza7438]

I used my soldering iron

thank you i spent most of today looking for this simple but effective setup once agin thanks you got me back in the hobby almost three years ago with your betta breeding series now i found dustin joey prime aquatics bretz and everybody else but you are my unicorn that made me into a rainbow and for that inspiration and passion you gave to me i say thanks and happy holidays all day ive been looking for the one bottle recipe and your explanation was superb. i hope you read this i use to comment on all your videos and figured you dont see or read them or im weird and funny looking lol jk but now i see your just evolving and i respect and love it but im your fan number 1 fan i have 12 tanks and two ponds i downed sized after my move lol and i have you to thank for that and my wife who said buy a betta and my new son Nova Prime who was the spark. but you fed the flame over 2 years ago thanks peace and be well.......... yes i went on a rant but a rant of love hope and promise

[@kushaluk2381]

[@NVGamingOwl]

Amazing. I can finally have a little bit of CO2 in my planted tank. Thank you so much.

[@gagedraper2086]

For those with a drill use a 1/4 inch drill bit for the bottle cap

[@emanon888]

So putting the Co2 next to the hang on back filter will help distribute the co2 I did not know this .

[@gamadman2003]

Nicely explained and easy setup !

[@drdoolittlefishhobbyist6055]

Or if you don't have a cot glue gun you could always use a hot glue gun lol

[@adamsaquatics3332]

I'd add a second bottle as a gas exhanger/degasser. This way if the yeast over rises it won't go into your tank. It can easily wipe your tank if it does. And it smells bad....

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Great idea, thank you

[@Rley-ti1lq]

Do you mean like an empty bottle or one filled with water?

[@classichybrid]

Pepe Pepperoni, you could do a second bottle with half water. Make the tube go down into the water so you can count how many bubbles but it also gives room for overflow.

[@prmex1129]

Thank you, great video, question, what do you do when you have to take it out is it possible to add an adjustable valve and close it or just let it waste

[@leesahcage3297]

excellent video, great budget friendly diy,

[@rafedb841]

how long does it last producing co2? and do i need to do that daily for my plants or just once a week?

[@ericwinata6390]

How long a boutle can produce the CO2 ?

[@joannabranch8001]

I can't wait to see how it works!

[@ankurajane9215]

its better to use to bottles, one with the mixture and one with plain water whose outlet will pass CO2 into the aquarium. Reason: if you use only one bottle, the foam will rise up and will get into the aquarium and will make a mess in the aquarium. i made mess in mine....thankfully i am in DSM phase so had to remove only a spoon full of the area. I hope nothing is left behind.

[@Lifewithpets72]

Very interesting video. I'll be interested in your opinion of how it's working in the weeks to come.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

I definitely wanna do an update in a few weeks ^_^

[@MrOnlymoin1]

an update on this will be appreciated. thanks

[@NYREPS]

Kasha you may want to buy the diy cap and gauges it's only $15 on Amazon .... silicone won't stick to the bottle cap for long after awhile and you may want to use Citrus acid and baking soda mix ...watch out if that bottle blows up on you it shoots like a rocket and your room will smell like fermented beer....GET THE KIT!

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Silicone was not the best choice thats for sure..but Ive never had a bottle blow up on me before O_O

[@NYREPS]

Creative Pet Keeping it just happened to my friend last week she came home and there was a big ass hole in the ceiling it shot up like a rocket and exploded everywhere.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

Oh man O_O Mine should..in theory be ok..because its low output.. but now I'm paranoid

[@piotrlistwan8116]

Nice video. I'm actually going to try my first DIY co2 today. I've already have Hi-tec nano tank but now I'm going to try DIY setup on my second 15 galon with has been set up literally yesterday :).

[@kaylaworden7561]

so how did the diy CO2 affect the plants growth? did it go crazy or stay the same? I've been really curious lately on CO2 but i do not want to kill off potential fish with the new tank that i am getting. But i am also tired of only a few plants thriving and others dying off and wasting my money at the LPS. Thank you :)

[@dinoprimi3914]

Just so you know, literally every country on this planet has access to a drill 😂

[@TheCaddyMan1406]

try a nail and a lighter for your hole if u melt the hole a little smaller than the hose you don't need the silicone.

[@r.lathia2787]

To the people asking how long it lasts, get a CO2 drop checker (eBay has them for cheap) and it’ll tell you when CO2 levels in your tank are either too high or too low, this way you can figure out if you should take the pipe out or make new solution!

[@deru1463]

I have a 100+ gallon tank,should I put 3 or 2 bottles of co2 or only 1?

[@黎榮勝]

Dale Ella Erica Zapanta dafuq, 100+,just use pressurised co2 tanks, it'll be better

[@halliesbettas6663]

Sorry but its not working i have tried the recipe please help me

[@Myexoticexperience]

i wish you show how it looks like with the air stone.

[@kishorem23]

do the CO2 diffused bubbles need to physically/ literally reach all the plants in the tank? My bubbles only reach half of the tank before it bubbles up to the top. Is it still providing CO2 for the rest of the plants?

[@epaquatics5689]

No it doesn’t need to hit the plants

[@pinawita]

will this work for a 2 gallon?

[@alexcameron6831]

awesome tutorial wanted a set up that didn't require me spending money on DIY valves etc on eBay / Amazon. Thankyou

[@dmon491]

Great video..made my first diy co2 setup after watching this one..can you tell me how long does it last beforer the mixture is replaced.

[@angiebear8727]

I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now but in my experience 2 weeks to a month.

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

Sometimes I use Phillips and the occasional flat head to spear/twist holes into bottlecaps, purely because they're round, easy, and I'm always too lazy to pull out the drill. Works easily, just watch out for slipping.

[@lametube9032]

Two questions. Was there a reason you didnt use baking soda? Second: was there a reason ypu didnt hook up a second smaller bottle as a bubble counter? And how important is the second smaller bottle?

[@adamsaquatics3332]

lametube that's 3 questions. Baking soda isn't needed at all, the second bottle is pretty important so use it. You can count the bubbles as they come out of the line. It's not pressurized so it's not as important.

[@bingsu7824]

Can I use glue gun to seal it? Well it does harden when it cools off.

[@philipcave4303]

Pretty little tank.

[@gamingmaster5727]

Doni need to shake the bottle every time to make the reaction starts?

[@waisaaa]

Why do you need a check valve for it? The water shouldn’t back siphon since the flow is forever constant, I thought...

[@adamsaquatics3332]

JCTheCat if it slows down or stops producing, causing water pressure to be higher, it will cause a back siphon and will go backwards. If not sealed tight or something fails it can even drain your tank all over your floor.

[@EGWL93]

This is really a good idea!! How often does we need to change the solution?

[@dudedrew1823]

You DIY channels make the craziest things look easy O_O. I'm more of a buyer than maker lolol

[@avinashnbhatt]

This sounds good, I still haven't understood still that.... you mentioned you'll remove it in night... You' remove from aquarium and keep it where??? Will that bottle not explode or something???? Please reply

[@thejerry2759]

use cap from similar bottle

[@swedishfish1931]

I assume you just lift the tube out of the water and let the gas come out into the room

[@gamingmaster5727]

Do i have to make it work 24 hours a day? And how do i close it?

[@margooz1852]

Are rhose bettas? Can they stay together with other bettas?

[@sandiss.s4592]

So i made this set up, co2nis being produced, but i dont have enough pressure. Bubble doesnt com out of air stone. Whats the problem?

[@huanhuynh1670]

You need the non return attached to the airline if the pressure are not enough ;)

Hi why does other tutorial got 2 bottles the other bottle is just for water.

[@parijatparijatsociety6736]

Will u tell that how many days will it work?

[@paranorman1646]

i am doing a divided planted tank for my bettas can i just put the co2 one one side of the divider and will the other plants still get co2 on the other side of the divider????

[@tusharmondkar3464]

1)For how much days it would work for a 20 gallon tank? 2)Is it fine to give oxygen airbubbles and Co2 bubbles simultaneously or only one at a time?

[@hokkaidospring]

Wait, does the warning apply to Bettas? Since they breath from the surface. Also, is this too overpowering if used in a 2.5?

[@hoangphongcreative8545]

Great DIY, but I have a question. How can a betta live with other fish, even that is a guppy fish.

[@r.lathia2787]

Phong Huynh not too hard. Introduce the betta to the community while young. So he can establish his territory with the other tank mates. It’s harder to add new fish to a betta tank cause now the betta thinks the whole tank is his haha

[@2009angs]

How to stop the flow of CO2 when it is no longer required, without emptying the contents of the bottle? Please suggest.

[@classichybrid]

I came here to ask about this. I wouldn’t want to run it at night for fear of it depleting too much oxygen since the plants use oxygen at night. I was thinking when I do make this and set it up, I’ll just unscrew the cap from the CO2 producer. It sucks because then the product is wasted but at least I know my fish are safe. I also thought about putting the air stone near my powerhead to spread the CO2 through the tank.
